One more than sixteen times the population density of new mexico equals the population density of texas to the nearest whole number what is new mexicos population density

Let the population density of New Mexico be n and that of Texas be t. Then n is measured in the units "people per square mile."

16n + 1 = t. You haven't shared the population density of Texas. Without this info you could write

t-1

16n = t - 1, or n =

16

Just supposing that the population density of Tx were 2 people per square mile. Then the population density of New Mexico would be:

2-1

16n = 2 - 1, or n = , or n = 1/16 person per square mile (example only).

16

hm let me think hm think think hm think yes
