    Let the total population of the city 5 years ago = x

    The current population of the city is given as = 13500

    As the current population is 645 less than it was 5 years ago, so the equation becomes-

    x - 645 = 13500

    x = 13500 + 645

    x = 14145

    So, the total population of the city 5 years back was 14145.
