Question

Prompt

A city has an area of

x square miles

and a population density of

1, 035 people per square mile

. The suburb adjacent to the city has an area of

y square miles

and a population density of

535 people per square mile

. The combined population of the city and the suburb adjacent to the city is

13, 165 people

. Which equation represents this situation?

1, 035 x + 535 y = 13, 165

1, 035 x + 535 = 13, 165 y

1, 035 x + 535 = 1, 570 y

1, 035 x + 535 y = 1, 570
