Shirabi spent $208 on a sewing machine to make purses. She spends a total of $10 on thread, fabric, and accessories for each purse and plans to charge $36 for each purse. The equation represents her break-even point, when x represents the number of purses sold. 208 + 10x = 36x

How many purses must she sell in order to break even?

A. 5
B. 6
C. 7
D. 8

The correct answer is: Option D: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that she spent $208 on the sewing machines

And

the equation for profits to break even is:

208 + 10x = 36x

In order to find the number of purses to break even, we have to find the value of x

So,

Subtracting 10x from both sides

Dividing both sides by 26

The number of purses is 8

Hence,

The correct answer is: Option D: 8

D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

b

step-by-step explanation:

given

- 2 (3x + 12y - 5 - 17x - 16y + 4 )

simplify the parenthesis by collecting like terms

= - 2 (- 14x - 4y - 1) ← distribute the parenthesis by - 2

= 28x + 8y + 2 → b

answer:   y=2x-3
