Question 384592: If X units of a product cost C dollars to manufacture and ear revnue for of R dollars, the value of X where the expressions for C and R are equal is called the break-even quanity, the number of that produce zero profit. Find the break even quantity when C=12x+7200 and R=18x
How many units must be produced and sold in order to break even?

Find the break even quantity when C=12x+7200 and R=18x
How many units must be produced and sold in order to break even?
------
Solve: C = R
12x+7200 = 18x
6x = 7200
---
x = 1200 (# of units needed to break even)
