X=1.464102
Simplifies to: (1/2x)+1=1.732051
Step 1: Subtract 1 from both sides.
1/2x + 1 -1=1.732051-1
(1/2x)=0.732051
Step 2: Multiply both sides by 2
2*(1/2x) = (2) * (0.732051)
X=1.464102

The formula for continuously compounded interest is:

where P is the principal, r is the interest rate as a decimal number, and t is the number of years.
Using our information we have:

We want to know when it will double the principal; therefore we substitute 2P for A and solve for t:

Divide both sides by P:

Take the natural log, ln, of each side to "undo" e:

Divide both sides by 0.065:

Since we are working with an equation written in scientific notation and we are dealing with a negative exponent, we are going to divide 4.7 by 10 three times.
4.7 / 10 = 0.47
0.47 / 10 = 0.047
0.047 / 10 = 0.0047
Best of Luck!
Let the consecutive integers be x and x+1.
Then,
x + (x + 1) = 23
=> x + x + 1 = 23
=> 2x + 1 = 23
=> 2x = 23 - 1
=> 2x = 22
=> x = 22/2
=> x = 11
So, the integers are:
x = 11
and x + 1 = 11 + 1 = 12
So, the consecutive integers are 11 and 12.
