A certain sum of money doubles itself in 8 years. How much time will it take to triple itself at the same rate? [Irrelevant answers will be reported]

It will take 12years to triple itself

Step-by-step explanation:

let the sum of money=x

In 8years x becomes 2x

thus

2x-8years

Then 3x-?

Using ratio and proportion,

x=3/2×8years=12years

my answer is$ 12

step-by-step explanation:

because 15 -2=12

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571
