A county landfill has a maximum capacity of about 121,000,000 tons of trash. The amount in the landfill on a given day since 1996 is modeled by the function T(x) = 64,000 + 2x. Here x is the number of days since January 1, 1996, and T(x) is measured in thousands of tons. After how many days will the landfill reach maximum capacity?

A county landfill has a maximum capacity of about 121,000,000 tons of trash. The amount in the landfill on a given day since 1996 is modeled by the function
T(x) = 64,000 + 2x.
Here x is the number of days since January 1, 1996, and T(x) is measured in thousands of tons. After how many days will the landfill reach maximum capacity? Answer this
