Answer: The value of x is 30 dollars.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of dollars in his investment account on Jan 1, 2001 = x

Number of dollars in his investment account on Jan 1, 2005 = 480

Number of years = 4

According to question, the amount of money in the account doubled each year.

so, it becomes,


480=P(2^4)\\\\480=P* 16\\\\P=(480)/(16)\\\\P=30

Hence, the value of x is 30 dollars.
