Break-Even Point Analysis
SALES A service club is selling copies of its holiday
cookbook to raise funds for a project. The printer’s
set-up charge is $200, and each book costs $2 to print.
The cookbooks will sell for $6 each. How many must
the club sell before it makes a profit?
Let x = the number of cookbooks, and let
y = the number of dollars.
Cost of books

Lancaster Woodworkers Furniture Store builds two
types of wooden outdoor chairs. A rocking chair
sells for $265 and an Adirondack chair with
footstool sells for $320. The books show that last
month, the business earned $13,930 for the 48
outdoor chairs sold. How many of each chair were
sold?
Read the Item
You are asked to find the number of each type of
chair sold.
Solve by Substitution
Solve the Item
Step 1 Define variables and write the system of
equations. Let x represent the number of
rocking chairs sold and y represent the number
of Adirondack chairs sold.
x + y = 48
265x + 320y = 13,930
The total number of chairs
sold was 48.
The total amount earned
was $13,930.
Solve by Substitution
Step 2 Solve one of the equations for one of the
variables in terms of the other. Since the
coefficient of x is 1, solve the first equation for
x in terms of y.
x + y = 48
x = 48 – y
First equation
Subtract y from each side.
Solve by Substitution
Step 3 Substitute 48 – y for x in the second equation.
265x + 320y = 13,930
265(48 – y) + 320y = 13,930
12,720 – 265y + 320y = 13,930
55y = 1210
y = 22
Second equation
Substitute 48 – y for x.
Distributive Property
Simplify.
Divide each side by 55.
Solve by Substitution
Step 4 Now find the value of x. Substitute the value
for y into either equation.
x + y = 48
x + 22 = 48
x = 26
First equation
Replace y with 22.
Subtract 22 from each side.
Answer: They sold 26 rocking chairs and 22
Adirondack chairs.

MEDICINE Medical professionals recommend that
patients have a cholesterol level below 200
milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) of blood and a
triglyceride level below 150 mg/dL. Write and graph a
system of inequalities that represents the range of
cholesterol levels and triglyceride levels for patients.
Let c represent the cholesterol levels in mg/dL. It must be
less than 200 mg/dL. Since cholesterol levels cannot be
negative, we can write this as 0 ≤ c < 200.
Let t represent the triglyceride levels in mg/dL. It must be
less than 150 mg/dL. Since triglyceride levels also
cannot be negative, we can write this as 0 ≤ t < 150.
Write and Use a System
of Inequalities
Graph all of the inequalities. Any ordered pair in the
intersection of the graphs is a solution of the system.

LANDSCAPING A landscaping company has crews
who mow lawns and prune shrubbery. The company
schedules 1 hour for mowing jobs and 3 hours for
pruning jobs. Each crew is scheduled for no more
than 2 pruning jobs per day. Each crew’s schedule is
set up for a maximum of 9 hours per day. On the
average, the charge for mowing a lawn is $40 and the
charge for pruning shrubbery is $120. Find a
combination of mowing lawns and pruning shrubs
that will maximize the income the company receives
per day from one of its crews.
Linear Programming
Step 1 Define the variables.
m = the number of mowing jobs
p = the number of pruning jobs
Linear Programming
Step 2 Write a system of inequalities.
Since the number of jobs cannot be negative,
m and p must be nonnegative numbers.
m ≥ 0, p ≥ 0
Mowing jobs take 1 hour. Pruning jobs take
3 hours. There are 9 hours to do the jobs.
1m + 3p ≤ 9
There are no more than 2 pruning jobs a day.
p≤2

Step 4 Find the coordinates of the vertices of the
feasible region.
From the graph, the vertices are at (0, 2), (3, 2),
(9, 0), and (0, 0).
Step 5 Write the function to be maximized.
The function that describes the income is
f(m, p) = 40m + 120p. We want to find the
maximum value for this function.
Linear Programming
Step 6 Substitute the coordinates of the vertices into
the function.
Step 7 Select the greatest amount.
Linear Programming
Answer: The maximum values are 360 at (3, 2)
and 360 at (9, 0). This means that the
company receives the most money with 3

9x + 5y
= 12 Add to
eliminate z.
One Solution
5x + 3y + 2z =
2
(–) x + 4y + 2z = 16
4x – y
= –14
First equation
Third equation
Subtract to eliminate z.
Notice that the z terms in each equation have been
eliminated. The result is two equations with the same
two variables x and y.
One Solution
Step 2 Solve the system of two equations.
9x + 5y = 12
4x – y = –14
Multiply by 5
9x + 5y = 12
(+) 20x – 5y = –70
29x
= –58 Add to
eliminate y.
x = –2 Divide by 29.
One Solution
Substitute –2 for x in one of the two equations with two
variables and solve for y.
4x – y = –14
Equation with two variables
4(–2) – y = –14
–8 – y = –14
y=6
Replace x with –2.
Multiply.
Simplify.
The result is x = –2 and y = 6.
One Solution
Step 3 Solve for z using one of the original equations
with three variables.
2x + y – z = 5
Original equation with
three variables
2(–2) + 6 – z = 5
–4 + 6 – z = 5
z = –3
Replace x with –2 and y with 6.

Infinite Solutions
The equation 0 = 0 is always true. This indicates that
the first and third equations represent the same plane.
Check to see if this plane intersects the second plane.
Multiply by 6.
x + 2y – 4z = 7
6x + 3y – 9z = 15

SPORTS There are 49,000 seats in a sports stadium.
Tickets for the seats in the upper level sell for $25,
the ones in the middle level cost $30, and the ones in
the bottom level are $35 each. The number of seats
in the middle and bottom levels together equals the
number of seats in the upper level. When all of the
seats are sold for an event, the total revenue is
$1,419,500. How many seats are there in each level?
