Asparagus Cultivation The most successful asparagus cultivation has been in special micro-climates in the “rain shadow” of the Andes mountains, particularly in Peru. Consequently, the United States obtains most of its asparagus in the off-seasons from Peru. Asparagus cultivation in hectares for Peru and Mexico can be modeled by

Peru: y = 0.682x + 11.727

Mexico: y = 0.127x + 11.509

where x is the number of years after 1990.

a. Solve this system of equations for x.


b. If these models continue to be accurate, will Mexico’s cultivation equal Peru’s cultivation after 1990?
