5x + 3 ≥ 10
3 is adding on the left, then it will subtract on the right
5x ≥ 10 -3
5x ≥ 7
5 is multiplying on the left, then it will divide on the right
x ≥ 7/5
x ≥ 1.4
Then, the smallest integer value of x is 2
All you've got to do is write an equation. EX 2n-1
Answer:
It will take 55 years for the account value to reach 38200 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a simple interest problem.
The simple interest formula is given by:

In which E are the earnings, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.
After t years, the total amount of money is:
.
In this problem, we ahve that:

So
First we find how much we have to earn in interest.
.


How much time to earn this interest?




Rounding up
It will take 55 years for the account value to reach 38200 dollars
