B is the answer, every other answer can be simplified
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of years it will take the two colleges to have the same enrollment.
In 2000, there were 12900 students at college A, with a projected enrollment increase of 900 students per year. This means that the expected number of students at college A in x years time is
12900 + 900x
In the same year, there were 25,000 students at college B, with a projected enrollment decline of 700 students per year. This means that the expected number of students at college B in x years time is
25000 - 700x
For both colleges to have the same enrollment,
12900 + 900x = 25000 - 700x
900x + 700x = 25000 - 12900
1600x = 12100
x = 12100/1600
x = 7.56
Approximately 8 years
The year would be 2000 + 8 = 2008
