Answer

$$\color{blue}{\bf{[300, \infty)}}$$

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 $8x\geq{3x+1500}$ subtract $3x$ from both sides $5x\geq{1500}$ divide by $5$ $x\geq{300}$ The break even point is $300$ units or more, or in interval form: $\color{blue}{\bf{[300, \infty)}}$
