from second equation y = 18-x so:-
x(18 - x) = 30
x^2 - 18x + 30 = 0
x = 16.14, 1.86
when x = 16.14 y = 18-16.14 = 1.86
when x = 1.86, y = 16.14
so one variable = 16.14 and the other = 1.86 Answer
If it doesn't matter whether the points are integers or not you can just pick a number for either y or x and solve for the other variable. For example, if you pick 3 to be your x, plug it in and then solve for y. Start out with:
Plug in 3 for x:
. Then,
. Subtract 21 from both sides and then divide by -3 on both sides. You end up with y=-7 so one of your points is (3, -7)

Answer:
4.8 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving the compound interest formula for the number of years gives ...
t = log(A/P)/(n·log(1 +r/n))
where principal P invested at rate r compounded n times per year produces value A after t years.
t = log(24805/22000)/(365·log(1 +0.025/365)) ≈ 4.800
The loan was for 4.8 years.
