1. Problem Description

The profit function is given by P(x)=18x360P(x) = 18x - 360. We need to find the break-even quantity, which means finding the value of xx when the profit P(x)P(x) is equal to
0.

2. Solution Steps

To find the break-even quantity, we set the profit function P(x)P(x) equal to 0 and solve for xx:
P(x)=0P(x) = 0
18x360=018x - 360 = 0
Add 360 to both sides of the equation:
18x=36018x = 360
Divide both sides by 18:
x=36018x = \frac{360}{18}
x=20x = 20

3. Final Answer

The break-even quantity is x=20x = 20 units.
