In the year 1980, the city of Gumbolantenden had a population of 20,000. The population of Gumbolantenden grows at the rate of 1.07% each year. The population of the city of Attaliolo is growing exponentially. In the year 2000, the population was 40,000. In the year 2005, the population was 62,000. When will the populations of the two cities be equal?
