The solution of a system of linear equations is the point of intersection of their graphs because the intersection represents the only x or y values that will satisfy both/all equations. The graph visually shows that the intersection of these equations is the only spot on the graph that all of the equations have in common. This means that only this spot will satisfy all equations. For example, the intersection may be (0,1); this means that for all equations an x value of 0 will always result in the y value of 1. However, an x or y value that satisfies one equation may not satisfy the others if they do not lead to the desired outcome.

14000+7x=35x (x being the number of books) solve for x and you have your answer. 14000=35x-7x=28x therefore x=14000/28=500 so he needs to sell 500 books before he breaks even.
