We have

C is the cost

x is the units of a product at the factory

If

C= 35170

we need to find the value of x

The equation given is


C=43x+14100

so we have the value of C, so the equation if we substitute the value of C is


35170=43x+14100

we need to isolate the x


\begin{gathered} 35170-14100=43x \\ 21070=43x \\ x=(21070)/(43) \\ x=490 \end{gathered}

In that month,490 units can be produced for $35170.​
