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 Huckabee’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.

[ Mental Health ] Open Question : Is it normal for a "tomboy" to have a girl crush, on a celebrity?
Everybody already teases me for being lesbian (which I'M NOT) because of the way I dress up (jeans and a T shirt), walk(I just walk normally), my interest in gadgets, and nil interest in makeup/dressing up. And well, when I first joined school, I had a short haircut and looked like a guy (skinny 13yr old guy), now I've got longer hair though and do not look like a guy anymore. This recent celebrity "girl crush" (totally non sexual, only kinda obsession), has got me thinking if there's something wrong with me (I'm not saying being gay is wrong, but I'm NOT GAY). I can't even tell my friends(not all of them are like real friends, they're really cruel) like I can about the "guy crushes" , they'll make my life hell. What should I do to FEEL normal? I'm 23.
[ Singles & Dating ] Open Question : my boyfriend tells me he loves me but?
he is from a richer part of town when im a bit low-class and he has graduated from university when i dropped out of high school. he always gives me those deep, philosophical, self-improvement books to read and tells me i should evolve intellectually and says hes doing me good and trying to make me a better person, and when i ask him why he doesnt let me be myself he says his girlfriend should be mentally and intellectually higher than the ordinary crowd... another thing is, he doesnt like my female friends and calls them "cheap inner city slu.ts"... why do i have to be friends with the snobby stupid girls in his social circle?...
