You set up the equation like this:
T/45+T/53=1
You find the least common factor of 53 and 45 and times both sides so you end up with this:
53T+45T= least common factor
Then add up 53T and 45T.
98T= least common factor
Then divide 98 from both sides. That will be your answer.
Sorry I didn't have enough time to find the least common factor but it is a number that they both go into. I would check to make sure I'm correct. I hope this helps!
Use the given values in the compound interest formula to solve for time, n.
A is the final amount of money, $2800
P is the initial or starting amount $1900
i is the interest rate as a decimal 0.025
n is time in years since it annual.
2800 = 1900(1 + 0.025)^n
2800 = 1900(1.025)^n
2800/1900 = (1.025)^n
28/19 = (1.025)^n
take the natural log of both sides to solve for exponent.
ln(28/19) = ln(1.025^n)
power rule of logarithmic moves exponent
ln(28/19) = n*ln(1.025)
ln(28/19) / ln(1.025) = n
put into a calculator
15.7 years = n

lines with the same slope are parallel.
I hope it's helpful!!
