Joan is selling handmade bead necklaces
at a local art fair. She paid $240 to
reserve her booth. The cost of supplies
for each necklace averages $2. So, her
cost, y, for x necklaces is represented by
y = $240 + 2x. If she sells her necklaces
for $12, her revenue, y, is represented
by y = 12x.

Answer: 24 necklaces

Step-by-step explanation:

y=240+2x is the amount she spends

y=12x is the amount she makes

If the amount she spent = the amount she makes then she break even

240+2x=12x

240=12x-2x

240=10x

So x = 240/10=24 necklaces she needs to sell to break even

Answer is 24 necklaces

Hope this helps!!! Good luck!!! ;)
