EXERCISES 33–36

FOR INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP WORK
A system of linear equations can be used to model the cost and the revenue of a business.
Work Exercises 33–36 in order.
33.Suppose that you start a business manufacturing
and selling bicycles, and it costs you $5000 to
get started. Each bicycle will cost $400 to
manufacture. Explain why the linear equation
( in dollars)
gives your totalcost of manufacturing xbicycles.
34.You decide to sell each bike for $600. Write an equation using (in dollars) to
express your revenue when you sell xbikes.
35.Form a system from the two equations in Exercises 33 and 34.Solve the system.
36.The value of xfrom Exercise 35is the number of bikes it takes to break even.Fill
in the blanks: When bikes are sold, the break-even point is reached. At that
point, you have spent dollars and taken in dollars.
