It would take 26 years.
The equation will be in the form y = a(1+r)ˣ, where a is the initial population, r is the growth rate as a decimal number, and x is the amount of time. Using our information we have
y = 18450(1+0.027)ˣ = 18450(1.027)ˣ
We want the population to be doubled; 18450*2 = 36900:
36900 = 18450(1.027)ˣ
Divide both sides by 18450:
36900/18450 = 18450(1.027)ˣ/18450
2 = 1.027ˣ
Using logarithms, we have

<h3>Answer:</h3>
a = -2
<h3>Explanation:</h3>We want (5-a) to be 20 more than (6a-1). Then we can write ...
... (5-a) = (6a-1) +20
If we add (a-19) to both sides, we get
... -14 = 7a
... -2 = a . . . . . divide by 7

<em>Comment on the graph</em>
In the attached, we use the variable x, because this graphing calculator likes variables named x and y. We graph each expression and find the place where they both have the same value for the same value of x (the point of intersection). The value of the variable x at that point is -2, the solution we seek.
