The salmon population in a particular stream in Alaska decreased from 148,ooo in 1997 to 129,000 in 2002. Predict the salmon population in 2015.

Answer provided by our tutors

A: suppose  the salmon population in 2015 is x

then (129000-148000)/(2002-1997)=(x-129000)/(2015-2002)

then x=79600

so the salmon population in 2015 is 79600
