let the number of tickets sold be x
5x - 3x - 1300 - 1800 = 0
solve for x
Please show me how to solve:
At the local ballpark, the team charges $5 for each ticket and expects to make $1,300 in concessions. The team must pay its players $1,800 and pay all other workers $1,500. Each fan gets a free bat that costs the team $3 per bat. How many tickets must be sold to break even?

Income = $5x + 1300.
Expense = $3x + (1500+1800).
Expense = 3x + 3300.
To break even:
Income = Expense,
5x + 1300 = 3x + 3300,
Solve for X.
Expense = $3x + (1500+1800).
Expense = 3x + 3300.
To break even:
Income = Expense,
5x + 1300 = 3x + 3300,
Solve for X.
1000
