call the population in the seventies X
then in the eighties it was (X-485)
in the nineties it was 2+2X +(X-485) {I am taking the English here literally that the population "INCREASED" an amount 2+2X over what it was in the eighties. I hope you do not have a typo and it should be "INCREASED TO"}
in 2000s 2+2X +X - 485 -25 = 7
so there is your equation to solve for X
