Default Please help: cost equation and revenue equation

You start up a business. You find that it cost you $20000 to get all the equipment you need to start the company. Each item that you produce costs $7.50 to produce. You charge $16 for each item that you sell.

Write the cost equation and the revenue equation for this situation. How many items represent your break even point?

Thanks Please help ASAP.

well this q is straight fwd

cost = 20000 + 7.5x
where x is number of items produced.
20000 - Fixed cost
7.5x - Variable cost

Now write down the revenue equation.

And find the breakeven point.
