Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  2876 books

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let y1 and y2 represent the costs from method 1 and method 2, then we have, for x books published, ...

  y1 = 12841 +24.25x

  y2 = 48072 +12x

These costs will be equal when ...

  y1 = y2

  12841 +24.25x = 48072 +12x

  12.25x = 35231 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12841+12x

  x = 2876 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 12.25

The costs will be the same for production of 2876 books.
