You can put this solution on YOUR website! The sense best found is that this is arithmetic progression.
YEAR_______0 is year 2009__________POPULATION(Billions)
2009_______0__________6.8
2010_______1__________
2011_______2__________
(???)______n__________
What is n when the population is 8.5 billion? Then the year is .
