X=POPULATION OF LAS VEGAS.
X+282,000 =POPULATION OF SACRAMENTO.
2,684,000=X+(X+282,000)
2,684,000=2X+282,000
2,684,000-282,000=2X
2,402,000=2X
2,402,000/2=X
1,201,000=X THE POPULATION OF LAS VEGAS.
1,201,000+282,000=1,483,000 THE POPULATION OF SACRAMENTO.
PROOF:
2,684,000=1,201,000+1,483,000
2,684,000=2,684,000
