Solve Problems Using Systems of Linear Equations
-In Miguel's home town, the percentage of women who smoke is increasing while the percentage of men who smoke is decreasing. The function y=0.27x+14.2y = 0.27 x + 14.2 models the percentage, yy , of women in this city who smoke x years after 1990 . The function 0.20x+y=29.70.20 \mathrm { x } + \mathrm { y } = 29.7 models the percentage, y\mathrm { y } , of men in this city who smoke x years after 1990 . Use these models to determine when the percentage of women who smoke will be the same as the percentage of men who smoke. Round to the nearest year. What percentage of women and what percentage of men (to the nearest whole percent) will smoke at that time?


A) 2023;23%2023 ; 23 \%
