Question 1195121: Men: tmen=-0.1569x+361.8
Women: twomen=-0.2514x+555.6
Since 1912, both men and women have competed in 100-meter freestyle swimming races at the Summer Olympic Games. The winning times for men and women from 1912 through 2012 can he modeled by the equations above, where t represents the winning time, in seconds, in year x.
According to the predictions from the equations, if the Summer Olympic Games had occurred in the year 2006, which is closest to the number of seconds by which the men’s winning time was less than the women’s winning time?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The wording description of x in the formulas is INCORRECT in the post, or, at least, INCOMPLETE,
making the formulas unusable.
My advise to the composer of this post is to read more similar problems in relevant Math textbooks
to learn on how to do the job professionally.
