Answer:

16,667

Step-by-step explanation:

The company will "break even" when revenue is equal to cost.

R(x) = C(x)

3.2x = 2.6x + 10000 . . . . substitute the given expressions for R(x) and C(x)

0.6x = 10000 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2.6x

x = 16,666 2/3 . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.6

The company must sell 16,667 lanterns to break even.
