Question 884921: Anyone help me with this problem please?
A product will break even or produce a profit only if the revenue R (in dollars) from selling the product is at least the cost C (in dollars) of producing it. Suppose that the cost to produce x units of wallpaper is C=20x+3600, while the revenue is R=60x. For what values of x is R at least equal to C?

Suppose that the cost to produce x units of wallpaper is C=20x+3600, while the revenue is R=60x. For what values of x is R at least equal to C?
----------------------
Equation:
R >= C
60x >= 20x+3600
80x >= 3600
x >= 45
