You used substitution to obtain the equation
0 = -0.01x2-10x+1,989 from the system.
What are the solutions to the system of equations?
(-23,400, 3,400) and (-1,170,170)
(-1,170, -23,400) and (170, 3,400)
(274, 726) and (5,480, 14,520)
(274, 5,480) and (726, 14,520)
The solution (-1170, -23,400) should be eliminated in the context of this situation.
The company will break even when its cost of making x purses equals its income for selling x purses. The company must make and sell purses to break even. (Just need help with the last part of this.)
