X=26/3. I got my answer by making simplifying the equation to 6x-18=3x+8. I later did the inverse operation of adding 3x I subtracted 3x from both sides getting me 3x-18=8. So, I later did the inverse operation of subtracting 18 I added 18 to both sides getting me 3x=26. Then, I did the inverse operation of multiplying by 3 I divided by to both sides I got x=26/3 because x couldn't be a whole number but instead a mixed or an improper but I used improper because the questions is telling me to show an improper fraction as an answer so 26/3 is the answer.

Total Cost in a day is $TC= 90 + 12n$ . Profit function is $P=18n$ . And the revenue function is $R = P-TC = 18n-12n-90 = 6n-90$ . In a day, bookstore must sell at least 15 books, because of 6n-90=0, in order to make profit.
