A business uses​ straight-line depreciation to determine the value y of a piece of machinery over a​ 10-year period. Suppose the original value​ (when t​=0) is equal to ​$34,000 and its value is reduced by ​$3400 each year. Write the linear equation that models the value y of this machinery at the end of year t.

2.3 x 12 = 27.6

27.6 > 27.1

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing you need to do is make their units the same.

There are 12 inches in a foot so we convert 2.3 feet to inches by multiplying 2.3 by 12:

2.3 x 12 = 27.6

You can also approach it like this:

12in = 1 ft

So if we compare the two then we know that:

27.6 > 27.1
