Two researchers are studying the decline of elephant populations. In one study, a population of 1,568 elephants is expected to decrease at a rate of 50 elephants per year. In a second study, the population of a group of 1,634 elephants is expected to decrease at a rate of 72 elephants per year. After how many years will the two populations be the same?
