Organization A currently has 1,050 members. Organization B currently has 1,550 members. The number of members of Organization A and the number of members of Organization B are increasing annually, each at its own constant rate. Analysts project that if each of these organizations maintains its constant annual rate of membership increase, five years from now they will for the first time have the same number of members, and in subsequent years Organization A will have more members than Organization B.

In the table below, identify a rate of increase, in members per year, for Organization A and a rate of increase, in members per year, for Organization B that together are consistent with the analysts’ projection. Make only one selection in each column.

1050 + 5x = 1550 + 5y

5x - 5y = 500

(Divide both sides by 5)

x - y = 100

Only two digits were x - y = 100 is 130 and 30

If this is the case it will match numbers in a year or so ..

1050+1050*1.30 and 1550+1550*.3 ....

In my opinion 40 and 30 should be Answer

It is said that after 5 years, the number of employees in organization A will be equal to the number of employees in organization B.
If we take 40 and 30 then after 5 years, the result will be :

Org A : 1,050 + (40*5) = 1,250

Org B : 1,550 + (30*5) = 1,700

It doesn't match, so it can't be our answers.

However, if you take 130 and 30 :

Org A : 1,050 + (130*5) = 1,700

Org B : 1,550 + (30*5) = 1,700

It's a match !


Answers : 130 and 30.

1050+5x=1550+5y
x-y=100

Only 130 and 30 suffice :)
