Over the past ten years, the town's population doubled in size. the population is currently 12,000. what was the population ten years ago?

which of the following represents the given word problem if "p" represents the population ten years ago?

2(p + 10) = 12,000
2p = 12,000
p = 2(12,000)

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743
