To "break even" means that the costs are equal to the money made, so profit would have to be 0. Therefore, we can rewrite the equation to be
0 = x3 -4x2 +5x -20
From here, all you have to do is factor to be able to solve for the values of x
First, since the first two numbers both have an x2, we can factor that out
x2(x-4) + 5x -20 = 0
The next two can factor out a 5
x2(x-4) + 5(x-4) =0
Since both of these terms share an (x-4), they can be factored to become:
(x-4) (x2 +5) = 0
So now we just solve for x, and get x = 4, and +- (sqrt) 5i
Since 4 is the only answer present in the options (and since 5i is a non-real number), the answer would be 4

Answer:
To find the surface area of a cuboid, add the areas of all 6 faces. We can also label the length (l), width (w), and height (h) of the prism and use the formula, SA=2lw+2lh+2hw, to find the surface area.
28, because when you divide you get about 28. good luck!
