so the company has an overhead of $600, usually that involves premises leasing and industrial equipment for the manufacturing of the product, that's cost. The cost to make each item is 50 cents, so if the company produces "x" items, their cost is 0.5x total.
so our cost equation C(x) = 0.5x + 600 <---- items' cost plus overhead.
the company sells the product for 85 cents, so if they sell "x" items, their total revenue or income will be 0.85x.
so our revenue equation is simply R(x) = 0.85x.
as you already know, the break-even point is when.... well, you break even, no losses but no gains either, how much you take in is the same amount that you shelled out, namely R(x) = C(x).

You have to distribute the 4 to the numbers in the parenthesese. So 4 times 3x which is 12x and 4 times 5 which is 20 so now you get 12x plus 20 equals 8. Now you have to subtract 20 from 8 which is -12 so now you have 12x=-12 now divide the 12 from x and 12 from -12 and so now you have x=-1
