Question 848714: Breaking even occurs when the revenues for a buisness equal the cost. A local children's museum studied their costs and revvenues from paid admission. They found that their break even time is given by the equation of 2h^2-2h-24=0 where h is the number of hours the museum is open per day. How many hours must the museum be open per day to reach the break even point

-------
2(h^2-h-12) = 0
--------------------
(h-4)(x+3) = 0
---
Positive solution:
h = 4 hours
