Hi there!

First, let's create an equation for the table: m = 2n + 40. Using this equation, we can find the values of x, y, and z.

WORK:
x = 2(4) + 40
x = 8 + 40
x = 48
y = 2(5) + 40
y = 10 + 40
y = 50
z = 2(6) + 40
z = 12 + 40
z = 52

Next, using the equation, we know that the initial investment would be 40, since that is the y-intercept of the equation. To express M in terms of N, that would be our equation m = 2n + 40. To find 10 years, we'll plug in 10 for n.

WORK:
m = 2(10) + 40
m = 20 + 40
m = 60 after 10 years

To figure out when his investment would double, we'll need to use 80 (double his initial investment of 40) in place of m.

WORK:
80 = 2n + 40
40 = 2n
n = 20 years


Hope this helps!! :)
