Question

In 2003, there were 13,700 students at college​ a, with a projected enrollment increase of 1200 students per year. in the same​ year, there were 26,500 students at college​ b, with a projected enrollment decline of 400 students per year. according to these​ projections, when will the colleges have the same​ enrollment

Answer 1

College A
13,700 + 1200x = y
College B
26,500 + 400x = y

13,700 + 1,200(16) = 32,900
26,500 + 400(16) = 32,900


The colleges will have the same enrollment after 16 years, in 2019.
