harkovskaia [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y.

$\therefore \: 3x - 2 = \frac{2}{3} y + 2 \\ \\ \therefore \: 3x - \frac{2}{3} y = 2 + 2\\ \\ \therefore \: 3x - \frac{2}{3} y = 4 \\ \\ \therefore \: 9x - 2y = 12$

the\ n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence, will be}

$ $\bf a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad 
\begin{cases}
a_1=\textit{first term}\to 31\\
d=\textit{common difference}\to 2.4\\

thus
\\ \quad \\
a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\implies 67=31+(n-1)2.4$

solve for "n"

the value of the "n"th term is 67, we know that much,
so, "n" will give you how many years it took to be 67
