The way to solve this question is to essentially reverse the equation I used in the other answer.

I would solve this with some theoretical values. If you start with 3, how long would it take for it to triple, or reach 9.

the equation would look like 9 = 3(2)^t/6, note how the instead of 1/2 it is now 2 in the parenthesis, as it doubles every 6 hours rather than halves every amount of hours.

When placed into an algebra calculator, the answer should be about 9.5 hours

9+(-10) is the same as saying 9-10.

You would start at your fires number, 9.

When subtracting you move to the left.

Start at 9 and move 10 units left. D

Let's split these two situations up.
Linda
Linda deposits $1,800 into an account that pays 7.5% interest, compounded.
The equation:
1,800× 1.075^x=y
Let's put in 10 for x.
1.075^10= 2.06103156 × 1,800= 3,709.85681≈ 3,710
Anna
Anna deposits $4,000 into an account that pays 5% interest, compounded.
The equation:
4,000× 1.05^x=y
Let's put in 10 for x.
1.05×10= 1.62889463×4,000= 6515.57852= 6516
A) Linda's account: $3,710
Anna's account: $6,516
