A town's population is 47,750. About 75 people move out of the town each month. Each month, 150 people on average move into town. A nearby town has a population of 50,250. It has no one
moving in and an average of 175 people moving away every month. In about how many months
will the populations of the towns be equal? Write an equation to model the situation. Then solve the
equation and answer the question.
A. 150m - 75m + 47,750 = 50,250 - 175m
B. 150m - 75m + 50,250 = 47,750 - 175m
OC. 150m + 75m + 47,750 = 50,250+ 175m
OD. 150m + 75m +50,250 = 47,750 + 175m
In about
months, the populations of the two towns will be equal.
