Answer:

  10 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c and s represent the populations of Canyon Falls and Swift Creek, respectively. For time t in years, the respective populations are ...

  c = 22500 -740t

  s = 15200 +1500t

We want to find t when s = 2c.

  s = 2c

  15200 +1500t = 2(22500 -740t)

  2980t = 29800 . . . . . add 1480-15200, simplify

  29800/2980 = t = 10 . . . . divide by the coefficient of t

The population of Swift Creek will be double that of Canyon Falls in 10 years.
