    Y=25000*1200x

    y would equal the population of the year and x is the amount of years passed.

    In year 2003 (starting year) it had 25000 pple

    let's say a=25000

    so steadily each year it increases by 1200

    which means the difference between two consecutive years would be 1200 pple

    now this is an arithmetic progression

    using Tx=a + (x-1) 1200

    tx = 25000 + (x-1) 1200

    tx=25000+1200x-1200

    tx = 23800+1200x

    that's the eqn after X years
