Question

Let's choose the town of Pleasantville. Using the second column, the expression for the current estimated population of Pleasantville in terms of x is x. Using the third column, the expression for the current estimated population in terms of x is x - 0.02x = 0.98x.

bot can you make this look like a 7th grader wrote it?

Answer 1

Okay, let's pick Pleasantville as our town. Based on the second column, we can express the current estimated population of Pleasantville as just x. On the other hand, if we use the third column, we can write the expression for the current estimated population in terms of x as x minus 0.02x, which simplifies to 0.98x.
