Fresh pond has a population of 854 and it’s increasing by 3 people per year. strawberry has a population of 427 and it’s increasing by 10 people per year. in how many years will the two villages have the same number of residents?

The number of years that will the two villages have the same number of residents is 61 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume number of years as 'x'

First Pond:

Fresh pond has a population of 854

and it’s increasing by 3 people per year

so, we can find equation for population of first pound

Second pond:

Strawberry has a population of 427

and it’s increasing by 10 people per year

so, we can find equation for population of first pound

Since, populations are equal

so, we can set both equation equal and then we can solve for x

So,

The number of years that will the two villages have the same number of residents is 61 years
