Given:
Cost of printing a catalog: flat rate of $52 and $0.20 per copy.
C = 52 + 0.20x
C is the total cost of printing x number of copies.
x = 500
C = 52 + 0.20(500) = 52 + 100 = 152
x = 1000
C = 52 + 0.20(1000) = 52 + 200 = 252
x = 1500
C = 52 + 0.20(1500) = 52 + 300 = 352
x = 2000
C = 52 + 0.20(2000) = 52 + 400 = 452
x = 2500
C = 52 + 0.20(2500) = 52 + 500 = 552
Add 9 to both sides and you get 6x=24 then you divide 6 from both sides to get x by its self and the final answer will be 4
