in year 2003 (starting year) it had 25000 pple
let's say a=25000
so steadily each year it increases by 1200
which means the difference between two consecutive years would be 1200 pple
now this is an arithmetic progression
using Tx=a+(x-1)1200
tx= 25000+(x-1)1200
tx=25000+1200x-1200
tx= 23800+1200x
that's the eqn after X years
