Answer:

27 years approx

Explanation:

Given data

Principal P= $ 3,000

Final amount A= $ 7000

Rate r= 5%

The simple interest expression is

A=P(1+rt)

substitute and solve for t

7000=3000(1+0.05t)

7000=3000+150r

7000-3000=150r

4000=150t

t= 4000/150

t= 26.66

Hence, the time is 27 years approx
