On the basis of data from 1990 to 2006, the median income y in year x for men and women is approximated by the equations given below, where x = 0 corresponds to 1990 and y is in constant 2006 dollars. If these equations remain valid in the future, in what year will the median income of men and women be the same? Men: - 237x + 2y = 63,300 Women: -850x + 3y = 46,199 ……. The median income of men and women will be the same in the year
