You can put this solution on YOUR website!

I presume you mean the model to be ('^' does not mean 'squared', it means 'raise to the power of' and you have to specify the power. If you mean squared, then you need to write 'x^2' Ok?)




Substitute 7 for N:



Add -2 to both sides:





Take the positive square root:

years.

That is the exact answer. A numerical approximation is two years, two months, and 25 days.
