Your neighborhood has seen some growth in squirrel population over the past couple years. Two years ago you noticed eight squirrels living in your and your neighbor’s yards. Last year you counted 12 squirrels. Currently, there are 18 squirrels that live in the yards. Write an equation representing this situation. If this rate of growth continues, how many squirrels should you expect to see 5 years from now?
