log(2)/log(1.087)~~8.309 years

Explanation:

Initial Investment = 19000/2=9500

let y be the number of years it will take to double

9500 * 1.087^y=19000

=>1.087^y=2

logarithmic rules state log(a^x)=x*log(a)

=>log(1.087^y)=log(19000)

=>y*log(1.087)=log(19000)

=>x=log(2)/log(1.087)~~8.309 years
