Example:
You owe someone $45.75 which is -45.75. You are able to pay that person the $45.75 which is positive and equivalent to the amount of money you owe. Add them together and you will get 0, meaning you don't owe them any money anymore.
You would do:
t = time in years
14,800 = 10,000(1+0.08/4)^4t
1.48 = 1.02^4t
log_1.02(1.48) / 4 = t
((log 1.48)/ (log 1.02))/4 = t
t ~ 4,949 years
