4 0

Replace all the variables that we know the value for.

-3 = |x|

Make to equations from this one.

-3 = x and -3 = -(x)

Solve the first one.

-3 = x
x = -3 <-- Switch it around

-3 = -(x)
-(x) = -3 <-- Switch it around
x = 3 <-- Divide both sides by -1

So, there are two possible answers, -3 and 3.

Revenue and cost as a function of units sold are $u(x) = 9x-2x^{2}$ and $c(x)=x^{3}-3x^{2}+4x+1$ respectively.

we are have to know for which value or input units are these functions at maximum which translates to for how many units is the revenue maximum and for how many same units is our cost minimum.
