20,000+1,700x. Hope this helps you.

Answer: An equation for the population x years after 2003 is

[tex]Population=20000+1700x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Population in 2003 = 20000

Number of population growing each year = 1700

Let the number of years after 2003 be 'x'.

So, our equation becomes,

[tex]Population=20000+1700x[/tex]

Hence, an equation for the population x years after 2003 is

[tex]Population=20000+1700x[/tex]
