Organization B starts with 1550 members. Let's say it increases by y members per year. At the end of five years, the new number of members will be 1550 + 5y
We want those values to be equal. So
1050 + 5x = 1550 + 5y
5x - 5y = 500
x - y = 100
So we need the difference between the two values to be 100. The only option that would allow this would be if x = 130 and y = 30.
