Answer: hope this helps love.

Explanation:

years of equal population are 1995 and 2022.

in 1995, population was 425,000 people and in 2022, population was 1,910,000 people.

Step-by-step explanation: Baskinville: y = x2 - 22x + 350

Cryersport: y = 55x - 950

Note that x2 is xsquare not x2

Resolving the quadratic equations carefully will give the values of y and x which represent the population and years.
