It would sure help a lot if I could take a peek at the drawings of the triangles.
Answer:
9.42 years (= 113 months)
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the compound rate interest formula:
where:
- A = amount
- P = principal
- r = interest rate (in decimal format)
- n = number of times interest is compounded per unit t
- t = time
Given:
- A = $7850
- P = $5000
- r = 4.8% = 0.048
- n = 12
- t = years
Take natural logs:
Let x represent the number originally signed up.
.. 360/x -6 = 360/(x +3)
.. 360*(x +3) -6x(x +3) = 360x . . . . . multiply by the product of denominators
.. 360x +1080 -6x^2 -18x = 360x
.. x^2 +3x -180 = 0
.. (x +15)(x -12) = 0
Solutions are x = {-15, 12}
