Answer:

-- State-A . . . Population = 1 · (1.08)ˣ

-- State-B . . . Population = 2 · (1.08)ˣ

' x ' = number of years after the original population

At the beginning, x=0.

Any quantity raised to the zero power = 1.

At the beginning, when x=0, the original populations were

State-A = 1 · 1 = 1

State-B = 2 · 1 = 2

The original population of State A was half of

the original population of State B.

this isn't my answer but hope it helps
