Answer:

Part 1) An equation is 15.7=3x+1

Part 2) The approximate population in 1950 was 4.9 million people

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the population in 1950 in million people

y -----> the population in 2003 in million people

we know that

y=3x+1 -----> equation A

y=15.7 ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for x

15.7=3x+1

3x=15.7-1

3x=14.7

x=4.9

therefore

The approximate population in 1950 was 4.9 million people
