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

graph b

step-by-step explanation:

one solution- graph a (clear intercepting point.)

no solution- graph b (they're parallel, there will never be a point of interception.)

infinite solutions- graph c (all points intercept.)
