idk x≤2500?

Yes, I know that x equals 2500. But I'm trying to figure out how you find that.

It's ok if you don't know

−0.5x+0.5x+(0.4)(0.5)x≤500 Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality. 0.2x≤500 Step 2: Divide both sides by 0.2. 0.2x 0.2 ≤ 500 0.2 x≤2500

Wouldn't it be $\large \sf -0.50x + 0.50x + (0.40 * 0.50x) = 500$ not $\large \sf -0.50x + 0.50x + (0.40 * 0.50x) \leq 500$ since they want 500 profit not 500 or less profit?
