The office machine loses $400 each year, so we can set up the equation:
3600 - 400x = 0, where x is the number of years.
Simplifying the equation, we have:
-400x = -3600
Dividing both sides by -400, we get:
x = 9/1
Therefore, it will take 9 years for the office machine's value to equal zero.
The correct answer is C. 9
