    Stacy sells art prints for $12 each. Her expenses are $2.50 per print, plus $38 for equipment. How many prints must she sell for her revenue to equal her expenses?

    Let the art prints be p
    Cost function is 38 + 2p
    Revenue function is 12p

    Set cost equal to revenue
    12p = 38 + 2p

    Subtract 2p from each side
    10p = 38

    Using our equation calculator gives us p = 3.8
