The owners of a landscaping company have determined that their weekly revenue and cost in dollars are given by:
R(x)= 95x and C(x)= 45x + 2,000 where x is the number od lawns serviced.
a. What will revenue and cost be if they service 30 lawns?
b. How many lawns must they service in order to reach their break-even point?
Thank you for your time

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
R(x)= 95x and C(x)= 45x + 2,000 where x is the number of lawns serviced.
a. What will revenue and cost be if they service 30 lawns?
R(30) = 95*30 = 2850
C(30) = 45*30+2000 = 3350
--------------------------

b. How many lawns must they service in order to reach their break-even point?
Break-even means revenue equals cost.
95x = 45x+2000
50x = 2000
x = 40 lawns must be serviced
