The answer if 7 years, if you multiply 2,000 by .02 it equals 40. so you divide 280 by 40 and get 7
|2x - 5| - 2 = 3 |add 2 to both sides
|2x - 5| = 5 ⇔ 2x - 5 = 5 or 2x - 5 = -5 |add 5 to both sides
2x = 10 or 2x = 0 |divide both sides by 2
x = 5 or x = 0
the answer would be 
because you would need to find the LCD, which in this case would be 56 and you solve from there.
