Question 1020484: Shirabi spent $208 on a sewing machine to make purses. She spends a total of $10 on thread, fabric, and accessories for each purse and plans to charge $36 for each purse. The equation represents her break-even point, when x represents the number of purses sold.
208 + 10x = 36x
How many purses must she sell in order to break even?
