8. Write an equation that models the situation. A population of 2200 beetles is too large to sustain and decreases in population each month at a rate of 5%. Write an equation to represent this situation.

9. Twenty years ago, Mr. Davis purchased his home for $160000. Since then, the value of the home has increased about 5% per year. Write an equation to represent this situation.

10. Solve the equation you wrote in #9 to determine the value of the home after 20 years.
