Answer

The system income will $\$1177$ billion in 14 years after 2004 or 2018.

Work Step by Step

Let $x$ be a year in which the system income will be $\$1177$ billion. So, $43x+575=1177$ , Then solve for x, $\begin{align} & 43x=1177-575 \\ & 43x=602 \\ & x=\frac{602}{43} \\ & =14 \end{align}$ Hence, the system income will be $\$1177$ billion in 14 years after 2004 or 2018.
