Each day the number of births in the world is 84 thousand less than three times the number of deaths. If a population increase in a single day is 228 thousand determine the number of births and deaths per day

Answer provided by our tutors

Let


b = the number of births in thousands


d = the number of deaths in thousands


Each day the number of births in the world is 84 thousand less than three times the number of deaths:


b = 3d - 84


Population increase in a single day is 228 thousand:


b - d = 228


We have the following system of equations:


b = 3d - 84


b - d = 228
