How long it will take for $300 to double when invested at 6% annual interest compounded twice a year?

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

6% compounded twice a year would be 3% every 6 months. so after one year you will have $\(300*1.03^2\) after 'n' years you will have $\(300*1.03^{2n}\) which means you need to solve:\[300*1.03^{2n}=600\] do you know how to solve it from here?
