Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost and revenue are equal when ...
C = R
2.5x +21 = 6x
21 = 3.5x . . . . . . subtract 2.5x
6 = x . . . . . . . . . .divide by 3.5
The company must sell 6 items to break even.
To solve this problem, we are going to set up an equation. Let the number that we are trying to find be represented by the variable x. If we plug in the numbers that we know, we get the following equation:
3x/4 = 24
To simplify this equation, we need to multiply both sides by 4, to begin getting the x alone on the left side of the equation.
3x = 96
Finally, we need to divide both sides by 3, to get rid of the coefficient that is being multiplied to x.
x = 32
Therefore, the number that you are trying to find is 32.
Inverse variation is of the form:
y=k/x, which we can express as:
yx=k we are given the point (2/3, 7) so we can solve for k
7(2/3)=k
14/3=k
y=14/(3x), so when x=7/3
y=(14/3)/(7/3)
y=(14/3)(3/7)
y=2
