Jamie wants to start a landscaping business. He buys $750 worth of equipment. Expenses for labor and gas are $12. He charges $50 per lawn. How many lawns does he have to landscape to break even? Write and solve a system of linear equations.
I'm not seeing a "system of equations" here. You have fixed expenses (apparently the labor and gas costs are total, not per-lawn) of $762. The charge per lawn is $50. So $800, or sixteen lawns, will cover expenses. What's left to "write and solve"? :shock:Jamie wants to start a landscaping business. He buys $750 worth of equipment.
