No idea what your x and y represent
My guess is that you want to know the break-even point
If you sell x kites the cost to the byer from you is
4x + 8
the cost from your competitor is
2x + 20
so when is 4x+8 = 2x+20
4x-2x = 20-8
2x = 12
x = 6
the cost ineach case to the byer is 4x+8 = 4(6)+8 = 32
same cost from the other equation, thus the "break-even"
Hi! I need help, please. So for one of my questions, I had to find the intersection on a graph. the answer was x=6 and y=32. The scenario was "You are an entrepreneur and selling handmade kites. Your company Kites-R-Fun has been contacted by a customer in Alaska who wants to purchase several of your best-selling kites and wants you to ship them to her. You have already established the cost at $4 each and it's only going to cost you $8 to ship these items to Alaska. Your competitor Windy Kites sells the same items, but charges half of your price. However, if the customer buys from your competitor, she will be charged $20 in shipping costs." so now i need to see how my answers mean in terms of this scenario. PLEASE HELP
