I made a mistake in my earlier post.  Follow this post please.

Primo is represented by the equation y = $32 + 0.35x
Ultimo is represented by the equation y = $34 + 1x

So, we want to find out when Ultimo is twice Primo

Ultimo = twice(Primo)

Ultimo = 2(Primo)

$34 + 1x = 2($32+ 0.35x)

Then you solve for x.
