Abusiness owner pays $1,200 per month in rent and a total of $120 per hour in employee salary for each hour the store is open. on average, the store brings in $200 in net sales per hour.
which equation can be solved to determine the break-even point if x represents the number of hours per month the store is open?
200x – 120x = 1,200
120x + 200x = 1,200
200x + 1,200 = 120x
120x – 1,200 = 200x

200x - 120x = 1,200

Step-by-step explanation:

The break-even point is when the amount of money he spends equals the amount he earns.  

Let's see how much he earns and how much he spends per month:

He earns $200 per hour. If x represents the number of hours per month, we can write the earns as 200x.

He spends $1,200 per month and $120 per hour. We can write it as 1,200 + 120x.

So, we need 200x = 1,200 + 120x

We don't have this exact equation in our options but if we subtract 120x from both sides, we have:

200x - 120x = 1,200 + 120x - 120x

200x - 120x = 1,200

The correct answer is the first equation.

4/6 = 2/3

so it should take 3/3 hours per man. so 9 hours is the answer 3*3 =9

step-by-step explanation:

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
