Problem 3. Using either a graphics or algebraic approach solve the following problem:

The Administrative Expense (AE) for a small business is falling each year linearly
from $5,000 at a rate of $3,000 per year and the Total Business Operating Cost (OC)
is falling inversely proportional to time in years accordingly to the following formula Operating Cost,

C, $(1,000) =  , where t is in years, and cost is in $1,000.
When will AE = OC?
