An entrepreneur estimates that the total profit (profit = total revenue minus total cost) from his proposed company will be give
n by the function P(x) = x3 – 4x2 + 3x – 12, where P is in hundreds of dollars and x is the number of years elapsed after the company starts operations. In how many years (x) will the company break even (no profit, no loss)? 1 year

This is also the x-intercept so since the x-axis represents the years, the x-intercept is the break even point, in this case that number is 4. So 4 years is the correct answer. its an easier way to think about it i think. also, can i pretty pretty please get brainliest :))

For this case we can propose a system of equations:
x: Let the variable that represents the number of small cookies
y: Let the variable that represents the number of large cookies
According to the statement we have:
We multiply the first equation by -2:
We have the following equivalent system:
We add the equations:
We look for the value of the variable "x":
Answer:
They sold 80 small cookies and 50 large cookies
