Lets analyze the equation:
<span>ax^2 - bx = 0
</span>x(ax - b) = <span>0
</span>Therefore if x = 0, the equation holds no <span>matter about a and b</span>:
0(0a - b) = 0
0 = 0
Answer: 117.5
Explanation: Assuming that after 10 years the lawn mower would have a value of 0. We can evenly divide $470 by the amount of years.
$750/10 = $75
We would then multiply 75*7.5 years to then realize the value lost over that amount of time would be $352.5, subtracting that from the original value of $470 would then be 117.5
