Question

May I please have some help w/ this Algebra problem?

3. In a biological lab, the cell growth rate of two different organisms is tracked and recorded each week. Given the growth rate, the number of organisms can be determined using the following equations:

s(x) = 100 + 23x
m(x) = 90(1.2x)

Complete the table of values.

x 100 + 23x 90(1.2x)
0
1
2
3
4
5

Use the table to determine at approximately which point the number of cells will be the same for each organism.
