3x * 3x = 9x
9x + 6 - 2x + 5x - 4x^2 + 9
9x + 6 - 7x - 4x * 4x + 9
9x + 6 - 7x - 16x + 9
9x + -7x = 2x + 6 - 16x + 9
2x + 6 - 16x + 9
2x + (-3) - 16x
-14x + (-3) is the expression?
Answer:880
Step-by-step explanation: They need to cover expense of $13200. If printing fee is $25 and they sell the books for $40 each, then that means when selling a book they cover expense of printing plus they earn $15 per book.
So if they earn $15 per book that means they have to sell 13200/15=880 books to break even.
If you want to solve this by using equation the this would look like this:
expenses: $13200 + $25x where x is number of books sold
earnings: $40x
Equation:
13200+25x=40x
13200=15x
x=880
