We effectively rewrite the equation as
In order for the LHS to be defined, we need to restrict 
, or 
. Now, the LHS will vanish when the numerator is 0, which happens for
This value is indeed smaller than 4, so the solution is 
.
I just had this question choose "d" hope it helps
Since he sells 5 large cards for every 2 small, we can multiply the number of small cards he needs to sell by 2.5 to find how many large cards he needs to sell.
So let x=the number of small cards sold, and 2.5x=the number of large cards sold
The equation is:Total profit=x+(2.5x)
Since a small card is $2.5, a large card is $4, and the total profit will be $10,000 plug those in to make the equation:
10,000=2.5x+4(2.5x)
We can combine the x's to get 10,000=12.5x and then divide both sides by 12.5 to get x=800.
So he needs to sell 800 small cards.
Multiply that by that 2.5.
And he needs to sell 2000 large cards.
