T%28x%29=-3x%5E2%2B240x-1800
T%28x%29=3000
3000=-3x%5E2%2B240x-1800
0=-3x%5E2%2B240x-1800-3000
0=-3x%5E2%2B240x-4800 both sides multiply by -1
0=3x%5E2-240x%2B4800
0=3%28x%5E2-80x%2B1600%29
0=3%28x%5E2-80x%2B40%5E2%29
0=3%28x-40%29%5E2%29
=>x=40
answer: 40 microwaves must be produced and sold to achieve a profit of $3000
