Suppose … billion people live in the U.S

Suppose $x = \frac{1}{4}$ billion people live in the U.S. and $y = 5$ billion live outside. If 4 per cent of those inside move out and 2 per cent of those outside move in, find the populations $d_{1}$ inside and $d_{2}$ outside after the move. Express this as a matrix multiplication $A u = d$ (and find the matrix).
