Town's population has been growing linearly. in 2003, the population was 2, and the population has been growing by 1700 people each year.

write an equation for the population x years after 2003

An equation for the population x years after 2003 is

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Population in 2003 = 20000

Number of population growing each year = 1700

Let the number of years after 2003 be 'x'.

So, our equation becomes,

Hence, an equation for the population x years after 2003 is
