To find out how many years it will take for the group to have 290 members, we can use the equation y = 14x + 10, where y represents the number of members and x represents the number of years since the group was formed.
To solve for x, we can substitute the given value of y, which is 290, into the equation and solve for x:
290 = 14x + 10
Next, we can isolate the term with x by subtracting 10 from both sides of the equation:
290 - 10 = 14x
Simplifying further:
280 = 14x
Now, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 14:
x = 280 / 14
x = 20
Therefore, it will take 20 years for the group to have 290 members.
To determine the year in which the group is expected to have 290 members, we need to add the number of years since the group was formed to the year in which the group was formed.
If the group was formed in the year 2000 and it will take 20 years for the group to have 290 members, we can add these two numbers together to find the year:
2000 + 20 = 2020
Therefore, we would expect the group to have 290 members in the year 2020.
