The point at which a​ company's costs equal its revenues is the ​ break-even point. C represents the​ cost, in​ dollars, of x units of a product and R represents the​ revenue, in​ dollars, from the sale of x units. Find the number of units that must be produced and sold in order to break even. That​ is, find the value of x for which C = R. C = 14x + 36,000 and R = 16x.

Answer:

14x+36,000=16x

subtract 14x on both sides

14x+36,000=16x-14x

36,000=2x

divide both sides by 2

36,000÷2=2x÷2

x=18,000

I hope this is good enough:
