Answer:

13.5 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that exponential growth function is in form y=a\cdot(1+r)^x, where, a is initial value and r is growth rate in decimal form.

Population of goldfish after x years would be y=20\cdot(1+0.20)^x.

We know that a linear function is in form y=mx+b, where, b is initial value and m is slope.

Population of minnow after x years would be y=100+10x.

Graphing both equations, we will get our required graph as shown in the attachment.

Since both graphs intersect at x=13.5, therefore, in the 13.5 years both populations will approximate the same.

The graph is attached, showing the intersection point at 13.5 years and populations of 235.2 for each population.

We only consider the portion of the graph from x=0 on, since negative time is illogical.  Tracing the graph we get the intersection point.
