Question 417859: I have a word problem that I am not sure how to put into an algebraic equation(s):
Peter can buy a high-efficiency furnace for $2250 that costs $412 per year to operate. He may also buy a standard furnace for $1710 that costs $466 per year to operate. Find how long it will take for the two furnaces to have the same cost. If Peter intends to live in his house for 7 years which furnace should he buy? What if he wants to live in his house for 20 years?
My instructor did not cover any word problems even close to this one, so if anyone could help me with this I would appreciate it. It is due Tuesday.
