For the marigolds 
M  = 150(0.85)^x     where x is the number of months
For sunflowers 
S = 125 - 8x  where x = number of months

Part B
after 3 months there are 150(0.85)^3  =  92 marigolds

after 3 moths there are 123 -  8*3 = 99 sunflowers

Part C 

There are the same number of plants when  the 2 functions are equal:-

So we have  150(0.85)^x = 125 - 8x
solving this for x is not straight forward . it could be done by drawing 2 graphs and seeing where they intersect.

They come close to being equal after 2 months and after 14 months
