Answer:

11 years is the required answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

$A=P(1+(r)/(n))^(n\cdot t)$ is the formula for compound interest.

Where, r is the interest rate in decimals and n is the number of times interest is compounded anually. Putting the values, we get:

$2* 5000=5000\left(1+(0.065)/(1)\right)^(1* t)\\\\\Rightarrow t=11\:years$
