x = sum of money\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "t = number of months\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "interest rate = \"0.07%2F12\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x+=+x%2A%281%2B%280.07%2F12%29%29%5Et\" Divide both sides by x to give\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2+=+%281%2B%280.07%2F12%29%29%5Et\" take logs of both sides\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"log+2+=+t%2Alog+%281%2B%280.07%2F12%29%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"log+2%2F%28log%281%2B%280.07%2F12%29%29%29+=+t\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"t=119.17\" so about 119 months which is nearly 10 years.\r
