Due to its weakening steel industry, Canalave Town has been experiencing a population decline of 10% every year. The current population is 74,000 people. Assuming the trend continues, which equation projects the population in x years?

• y = 74,000 (0.10)^x

• y = 74,000 (0.90)^x

• y = 74,000 (1.10)^x

• y = 74,000 (1.90)^x
