Answer:

7.87 years

Step-by-step explanation:

#First we determine the effective annual rate based on the 9% compounded semi annual;

i_m=(1+i/m)^m-1\\\\=(1+0.09/2)^2-1\\\\=0.09203

#We then use this effective rate in the compound interest formula to solve for n. Given that the principal doubles after 2 yrs:

A=P(1+i)^n\\\\A=2P, i=i_m\\\\16000=8000(1.09203)^n\\\\2=1.09203^n\\\\n=\frac{log \ 2}{log \ 1.09203}\\\\=7.87324\approx7.87 \ yrs

Hence, it takes 7.87 years for the principal amount to double.

Multiply the top equation by 6 and the bottom equation by 7. You will cancel x first by doing this and solve for y. You should get y=-1.
Substitute in y for either original equation.
You should get x=1.
Solution is (1,-1).

John's. Find the first common multiple of both denominators, in this case it's going to be ten, then the number you had to multiply to change these numbers to the common multiply you do to the numerators. so it works out like so:

Deena has a bottle of 4/10
John has a bottle of 25/10 or 2 1/2 (simplified)

Hey there :)

Let p represent the number of bags to be bought

We need to collect 30 stickers and each bag has 3 stickers

                    3p                                =                        30
                      ↑                                                           ↑
Number of stickers in a bad       Number of stickers to be collected

\frac{3p}{3} = \frac{30}{3}
p = 10

We need to buy 10 bags of crisps to have 30 stickers
