What counts as an expression?

Step-by-step explanation:

C(x)=16x+22736

R(x)=-2x²+524x

P(x)=R(x)-C(x)

=-2x²+524x-16x-22736

=-2x²+508-22736

when profit is zero then no gain or loss.

so -2x²+508x-22736=0

or x²-254x+11368=0

196+58=254

196×58=11368

x²-54x-196x+11368=0

x(x-54)-196(x-54)=0

(x-54)(x-196)=0

x=54,196

so x=54 is the smallest number of bins to break even.
