Compounded once a year: A=P(1+r)^t
2500=500(1+0.095)^t
1.095^t=5
because the unknown number is an exponent, use log to find the unknown:
log(1.095^t)=log5
tlog1.095=log5
t=log5/log1.095
use your calculator, t=17.734
so this person is about 28 years old.
We are given:

Our goal in solving for any variable, in this case is x, we need to isolate x on one side of the variable. Let's start by subtracting 7x from both sides, which will cancel the +7x on the right side. We are then left with:

Now, we want to move that +10 to the other side so our x is all by itself. Let's subtract 10 from both sides, which will cancel the +10 on the right leaving us with:

Since we cannot have a coefficient when solving for x, we need to divide both sides by -3.

When we divide, our answer is:
