Accordiing to this model, by how much will the value of this piece of property increase increase between the years 2007 and 2008? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The main question to be answered is: how many years have passed by
since the year of purchase and the years in question, 2007 and
2008? Between 1998 and 2000, there are 2 years, Then between 2000
and 2007 there are 7 years, So there are 9 years between 1998 and
2007. That means there are 10 years between 1998 and 2008.
Just solve the formula for 10 years, then for 9 years, and take
the difference.
then answer to the nearest dollar
