Question
Assume that in one country in​ 2005,
12.5% of the population was 65 or older. By​ 2050, this percent is expected to be 21.05%.
The percent of the population ages​ 25-34 in 2005 was 13.9%. That age group is expected to include 13.1215% of the population in 2050.
 
A.) Assuming these population changes are​ linear, use the data for the 65 or over age group to write a linear equation. Then do the same for the​ 25-34 age group. Let x=0
represent 2005 and x=45 represent 2050. Express percents in decimal form.
 
A1.) For the population of 65 or older the equation is y=________.
 
A2.) For the population of​ 25-34 years the equation is y=________.
 
B.) Solve the system of linear equations from part​ (a). In what year will the two age groups include the same percent of the​ population? What is that​ percent?
 
B1.) The age groups include the same percent of population in the year_______.
​(Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest year as​ needed.)

B2.) The percent is_______%.
​(Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest tenth as​ needed.)
