9C + 2A = $50
10C+ 3A = $61

3(9C + 2A = $50)
-2(10C+ 3A = $61)


 27C + 6A = 150
-20C + -6A = -122
-------------------------
7C = 28
7C/7  = 28/7
C = 4

9(4) +2A = $50
36 + 2A =$50
36-36 + 2A= $50-36
2A = 14
2A/2 = 14/2
A = 7

CHECK

9(4) + 2(7) = $50
36 + 14 = $50
$50 = $50

10(4)+ 3(7) = $61
40 + 21 =$61
$61 = $61

Since this is a problem in exponential growth/decay, y = ab^x is the formula that will be used to solve this problem.

The initial value, "a", is the value you start out with and in this case, it is $2000. 

The growth/decay factor is what "b" represents, and it is 4%. We need to change the percentage into a decimal, so we will take the percent symbol, change it into a decimal, and move it two places to the left. This is make it 0.04. The problem also mentions interest, implying an exponential growth. Therefore, you will add 0.04 by 1: 1+0.04 = 1.04. 

The "x" represents an amount of time. It is 5 years. The equation should be written like this: 

y = 2000(1.04)^5
y = 2433.30. When rounded to the nearest dollar, it is $2433.
