In the US, the percent of women using the internet is increasing faster than the percent of men. For the years 1996-2001, the function y= 7x+ 18.7 can be used to estimate the percent of females using the Internet while the function y= 6x + 27.7 can be used to estimate the percent of males. for both functions, x is the number of years since 1996. if this trend continues, predict the year in which the percent of females is equal to the percent of males.
