  • you didn't tell us what R or x means. so I'll assume you want to solve for R in terms of x.

    R(x) = (60x +6x)(12- 0.5x)

    R(x) = (60x +6x)(12+ -0.5x)

    R(x) = 60x*12 + 60x*-0.5x + 6x*12 + 6x*-0.5x

    R(x) = 720x + -30x^2 + 72x + -3x^2

    R(x) = 792x - 33x^2

    R(x) = (72)(11)(x) - (3)(11)(x)(x)

    R(x) = (11)(x) (72 - 3x)

    R(x)/x = (11)(x) (72 - 3x)/x

    R= 11(72-3x)

    R=792-33x

    I believe that's right, but tell me if I made a mistake anywhere
