5) At West High School, 362 students take

Spanish. This number has been increasing
at a rate of 20 per year. The number of
students taking French is 259 and has been
decreasing at a rate of 3 per year. At these
rates, when will there be two times as
many students taking Spanish as taking
French?
Please help
