A small town has two local high schools. High School A currently has 800 students

and is projected to grow by 80 students each year. High School B currently has 700
students and is projected to grow by 100 students each year. Let A represent the
number of students in High School A in t years, and let B represent the number of
students in High School B after t years. Write an equation for each situation, in terms
of t, and determine after how many years, t, the number of students in both high
schools would be the same.
