9" years"9 years

Explanation:

"we wish to calculate n the number of years"we wish to calculate n the number of years

V=(12000/(n+1))+100V=(12000n+1)+100

"here "V=1300here V=1300

rArr1300=(12000)/(n+1)+1001300=12000n+1+100

"subtract 100 from both sides"subtract 100 from both sides

1300-100=(12000/(n+1))cancel(+100)cancel(-100)

rArr1200=12000/(n+1)

rArr1200(n+1)=12000larrcolor(blue)" cross-multiplying"

rArr1200n+1200=12000

"subtract 1200 from both sides"

rArr1200n=10800

"divide both sides by 1200"

rArrn=10800/1200=9" years"
