Problema Solution
A total of 2684 people live in the areas of las vegas, Nevada, and sacramento. Sacramento has 280 more residents that las vegas. What is the population of each area.
Answer provided by our tutors
We assume that two cities are referenced ('sacramento' must be assumed to be california)... let 'x' represent the number of people in Las Vegas:
2684=x+(x+280)
x=1202
1202+280=1482
So Las Vegas has 1,202 people and Sacramento has 1,482 people.
