Solving inequalities is almost the same as solving equalities for basic cases. Only thing you've to watch out for is signs.
For example, in 2x + 3 > 5,
We may subtract 3 from both sides,
2x > 2
Hence, by dividing both sides by 2, we get x>1.
The inequality sign changes on multiplying with (-)
For example, 2 < 6
But, -2 > -6
And when you interchange a fraction
E.g. 3/4 > 2/3
But, 4/3 < 3/2
You can now solve these of your own
Try yourself
For this case we have an equation of the form:

Where,
A: initial amount
b: growth rate
t: time in years.
Substituting values we have:

By the time the population is triple we have:

Rewriting we have:

Clearing t we have:
Answer:
It will take for the population to triple about:
t = 73 years
For this, you have to calculate the Unit value,
Unit value of 1rst one, 247*2/19 = 26
Unit value of 2nd one, 1233*2/11 = 224.18
So, 2nd one was faster
