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.

-1/2x+3=-4x+7
borishaifa [10]
Like a first step bc. there is a denominator this will be more usefully eliminate it so what you can make it multiplied both sides by 2 
- so will get 

-2/2x +2*3/2 = 2(-4x+7)/2

(-2x +6)/2 = 2(-4x+7)/2   common denominator the 2 so make the numerators equal and solve for x 

-2x+6=-8x+14

6x=8

hope helped

Slope = (10 - 5)/(-9 + 15) = 5/6

y = mx + b where m = slope and b = y-intercept

b = y - mx

b = 5 - (5/6) (-15)

b = 5 +12.5

b = 17.5

Equation y = 5/6 x + 17.5

Y-intercept = 17.5

X-intercept when y = 0

So

5/6 x + 17.5 = 0

5/6 x = -17.5

x = (-17.5) (6/5)

x = -21

Answer

Y intercept (0, 17.5 )

X intercept (-21 , 0)
