In 2000, ohio's population was 11.4 million and and increasing by 0.5 million each year. michigan's population was 9.9 million, increasing by 0.6 million each year. when will the two years have the same population? let y represent the number of years.

In 15 years the population will be same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y represent the number of years.

In 2000, Ohio's population was 11.4 million and and increasing by 0.5 million each year.

Michigan's population was 9.9 million, increasing by 0.6 million each year.

We have to tell that when will the two years have the same population, so we will put both equations equal.

=>

=>

So, y = 15

Therefore, in 15 years the population will be same.
