Explanation / Answer

setting up equation for each company

company A

y = -4.2 x + 50.1

company B

y = -2.6 x + 42.6

setting up the inequality

-2.6 x + 42.6 > -4.2 x + 50.1

-2.6 x + 4.2 x > 50.1 - 42.6

1.6 x > 7.5

x > 7.5 / 1.6

x > 4.6875

so, number of employees in second company will become greater during the year 2007
