Joan is selling handmade bead necklaces at a local art fair. She paid $250 to reserve her booth. The cost of supplies for each necklace averages $2. So, her cost, y, for x necklaces is represented by y=$250+2x. If she sells her necklaces for $12, her revenue, y, is represented by y=12x. Use the system of equations to find how many necklaces Joan needs to sell to break even.

y=250+2x is the amount she spends
y=12x is the amount she makes

If the amount she spent = the amount she makes then she break even

250+2x=12x
250=12x-2x
250=10x
