In september 1998 the population of the country of West Goma in millions was modeled by f(x)= 16.9e^0.0019x. At the same time the population of East Goma in millions was modeled by g(x)=13.5e^0.0106x. In both formulas x is the year, where x=0 corresponds to September 1998. Assuming these trends continue, estimate what the population will be when the populations are equal.

Dear Fran, if you compute log(169/135)/0.0087 and round it to the
hundredth you will get 25.82 like it was described in a solution of
the question. Here log is the natural logarithm.

How do you get 25 at the end? I did it on my calculator and it gave me
11.21298116
