ANSWER

EXPLANATION
The given equation is

Take antilogarithm of both sides to base e.

This will simplify to

Group like terms to obtain,


Take square root of both sides to get,
|a| = a for a ≥ 0
examples
|2| = 2, |4| = 4, |234| = 234, |1/2| = 1/2, |0| = 0
|a| = -a for a < 0
examples
|-4| = -(-4) = 4, |-6| = -(-6), |-123| = 123, |-4/5| = 4/5
|5 - 15| = | - 10| = 10
0 × |-6| = 0

We know that,
![\text{FV of annuity}=P[\frac{(1+r)^n-1}{r}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BFV%20of%20annuity%7D%3DP%5B%5Cfrac%7B%281%2Br%29%5En-1%7D%7Br%7D%5D)
Where,
P = periodic payment
r = rate per period
n = number of period
Here,

Putting the values,
![\Rightarrow 2500000=P[\frac{(1+\frac{9}{1200})^{540}-1}{{\frac{9}{1200}}}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CRightarrow%202500000%3DP%5B%5Cfrac%7B%281%2B%5Cfrac%7B9%7D%7B1200%7D%29%5E%7B540%7D-1%7D%7B%7B%5Cfrac%7B9%7D%7B1200%7D%7D%7D%5D)
![\Rightarrow P=\frac{2500000}{[\frac{(1+\frac{9}{1200})^{540}-1}{{\frac{9}{1200}}}]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CRightarrow%20P%3D%5Cfrac%7B2500000%7D%7B%5B%5Cfrac%7B%281%2B%5Cfrac%7B9%7D%7B1200%7D%29%5E%7B540%7D-1%7D%7B%7B%5Cfrac%7B9%7D%7B1200%7D%7D%7D%5D%7D)



When you say something goes on forever, it means that it is going on to infinity. Infinity is something that can be used as a mathematical concept, but forever is not. Forever is something people say if they don't know how infinity is used.
The equation would be x+7x+12x = 100
solving gives x=5
12×5=60
7×35
5+35+60=100
The age/answer is 60
