P=8000-7400 0R P=600
85000/600=M
M=141.667 MONTHS TO BREAK EVEN.

Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc
Equation 4+x+%2B+2+y+=+8 describes a sloping line. For any
equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is -a%2Fb+=+-4%2F2.
  • X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. 8/4 = 2.
  • Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 8/2 = 4.
  • Slope is -4/2 = -2.
  • Equation in slope-intercept form: y=-2*x+4.

Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE linear system by SUBSTITUTION
Solve:
+system%28+%0D%0A++++1%5Cx+%2B+1%5Cy+=+2%2C%0D%0A++++1%5Cx+%2B+-1%5Cy+=+0+%29%0D%0A++We'll use substitution. After moving 1*y to the right, we get:
1%2Ax+=+2+-+1%2Ay, or x+=+2%2F1+-+1%2Ay%2F1. Substitute that
into another equation:
1%2A%282%2F1+-+1%2Ay%2F1%29+%2B+-1%5Cy+=+0 and simplify: So, we know that y=1. Since x+=+2%2F1+-+1%2Ay%2F1, x=1.

Answer: system%28+x=1%2C+y=1+%29.

DETAILED EXPLANATION


Look at highlight_red%28+x+%29%5E2-2%2Ax.
Replaced x with 3
It becomes highlight_green%28+3+%29%5E2-2%2Ax.

Look at highlight_red%28+3+%29%5Ehighlight_red%28+2+%29-2%2Ax.
Replace constants in factor: highlight_red%28+3+%29,highlight_red%28+2+%29 with highlight_green%28+9+%29
It becomes highlight_green%28+9+%29-2%2Ax.

Look at 9-2%2Ahighlight_red%28+x+%29.
Replaced x with 3
It becomes 9-2%2Ahighlight_green%28+3+%29.

Look at highlight_red%28+9+%29-highlight_red%28+2%2A3+%29.
Replace constants in expression: highlight_red%28+9+%29,highlight_red%28+-2%2A3+%29 with highlight_green%28+3+%29
It becomes highlight_green%28+3+%29.
