Question

Engineering=120+22x; Business=105-4x;Biology=98+6x; how many years will it be before Engineering has twice as many students as Business; how many years will it be before Engineering has twice as many students as Biology.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given

Engineering=120+22x;

Business=105-4x;

Biology=98+6x;

If Engineering has twice as many student as biology then,;

120+22x = 2(98+6x)

Expand

120+22x = 196+12x

Collect like terms

120-196 = 12x-22x

-76 = -10x

x = -76/-10

x = 7.6

Hence it will take like 7 and a half years before engineering has twice as many student as biology
