A = P ( 1 + r/m ) ^(t*m)      where A = 3500, P = the amount originally invested,  r = .0428  [the interest rate expressed as a decimal ],  m = 2  [compoundings per year], and t is the number of years....so we have

 

3500 = P  ( 1 + .0428/2)^(9 * 2)

 

3500 = P (1 + .0214)^(18)     divide both sides by (1 + .0214)^(18) 

 

P = about 2390.80
