Answer:

9.749 years

Explanation:

Given that :

Principal, P = 20,000

Total investment A = 35000

Investment 1:

P = $10,000

Compounded continuously at r = 5.2% = 0.052

A = Pe^rt

Investment B:

P = $10,000

Compounded annually at r = 6.4% = 0.064

A = P(1 + r)^t

Hence, final amount, A on both investment = 35000

A = Pe^rt + P(1 + r)^t

35000 = 10000e^0.052t + 10000(1 + 0.064)^t

Divide through by 10000

3.5 = e^0.052t + 1.064^t

t = 9.749123

t = 9.749 years
