Answer:

14  3/4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume compound inflation.  The appropriate formula for that is:

A = P(1 + r)^t.

If we represent current prices by P, then double that would be 2P:

2P = P(1 + 0.048)^t    Find t, the time required for prices to double.

Then:

2   =  1.048^t

Taking the natural log of both sides, we get:

ln 2 = t·ln 1.048, so that:

t = (ln 2) / (ln 1.048)   =   14.78

At 4.8 inflation, with annual compounding, prices will double in approx. 14 3/4 years.

2x-7y=12 for y answer please​
Marat540 [252]

Answer: If you want mx + b= y form and you want the y intercept, then the answer would be 2x/7 - 12/7 = y. The y intercept is b, so it is 12/7.

Step-by-step explanation: 2x - 7y = 12

Move -7y to the other side: 2x= 12 + 7y

Subtract 12 to the left side: 2x - 12 = 7y

Then divide 7 into everything: 2x/7 - 12/7 = 7y/7

The 7s in the right side cancel out, so the equation is now: 2x/7 - 12/7 = y

The y intercept is b, which is the second term in the equation, so the

Y Equals : 12/7

I hope this is what you are looking for!
