Answer

$$\color{blue}{[15,\infty)}$$

Work Step by Step

Remember that the break even point is where the revenue, $R$ is greater than or equal to the costs, $C$, or simply: $$R\geq{C}$$ Simply plug in the values and work the inequality $500x\geq{100x+6000}$ subtract $100x$ from both sides $400x\geq{6000}$ divide both sides by $400$ $400x\geq{6000}$ $x\geq{15}$ The break even point is $\color{blue}{[15,\infty)}$
