Math Problem Statement

Let C(x) be the cost to produce x batches of widgets, and let R(x) be the revenue in thousands of dollars. R(x)=-x^2+8x, C(x)=x+6. Find the minimum​ break-even quantity. Using the expressions -x^2+8x and/or x+6, identify an equation to be solved in order to find the minimum​ break-even quantity. Find the maximum revenue. How can the maximum revenue be​ found? The maximum revenue is...
