The population change equation is Population change = (Natality – Mortality) + (Immigration – Emigration). Which equation would create a stable population?(1 point) Responses natality + immigration = mortality - emigration natality + immigration = mortality - emigration natality + mortality = immigration + emigration natality + mortality = immigration + emigration natality + immigration = mortality + emigration natality + immigration = mortality + emigration natality - mortality = immigration - emigration natality - mortality = immigration - emigration

To create a stable population, the population change must be zero. This means that the number of individuals added to the population through natality (births) and immigration (incoming individuals) should equal the number of individuals lost through mortality (deaths) and emigration (outgoing individuals).
The equation that reflects this balance is:
Natality + Immigration = Mortality + Emigration
So, the correct response is:
natality + immigration = mortality + emigration
