[ Mathematics ] Open Question : Correct story problem format, can you answer this?

I am pretty quick at math but when it comes to story problems I get somewhat tripped up; I need to know how to put this into an equation, then what the solutions are, and then what those solutions represent according to the context of the story problem. I got a couple of answers, but I do not think I did it correctly. I got x=-3 for cost and x=8 for revenue but I do not think this is right, I don't know if I have to combine the cost and revenue equations and then get the two quadratic factors or if I have to plug these answers in somewhere. Anyways I would appreciate any help, thanks! The manager of HuckabeeĆ¢€™s Bike Shop knows the cost of selling x bicycles is C = 20x + 60 and the revenue from selling x bicycles is R = x^2 - 8x . a. Algebraically find the break-even value of x. (Break-even occurs when cost equals revenue.) Interpret your result with a complete sentence.
