that is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

1996 and 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

Since P (the population) is represented in thousands, 8000 will be represented by 8.

Plug in 8 as P and solve for t:

P = 2|t - 8| + 4

8 = 2|t - 8| + 4

4 = 2|t - 8|

2 = |t - 8|

Separate this into 2 possible cases:

2 = t - 8 and -2 = t - 8

Solve:

2 = t - 8

10 = t

-2 = t - 8

6 = t

So, the answers are 6 and 10.

The town will have a population of 8000 in 1996 and 2000
