Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We start by adding 
to both sides, giving 
, which after simplifying gives 
.
We then add 
to both sides, giving 
, which after simplifying gives 
.
We can then divide both sides by 
, giving 
, which after simplifying gives 
, or . So, x is 5.

Answer:
2000 bars, or $1200
Explanation:
Let x represent the number of candy bars that are sold. Since they are sold for $0.60 each, this gives us the expression
0.60x
to represent the profit.
The factor has $0.10 per candy bar additional expense; this gives us the expression
0.10x.
However the factory also has $1000 fixed costs; this gives us
0.10x + 1000
to represent the costs.
The break-even point is the point where these two expressions are equal; this gives us the equation
0.60x = 0.10x + 1000
Subtract 0.10x from each side:
0.60x - 0.10x = 0.10x + 1000 - 0.10x
0.50x = 1000
Divide both sides by 0.50:
0.50x/0.50 = 1000/0.50
x = 2000
The break-even point is 2000 candy bars, which would sell for
0.60(2000) = $1200
