A medical equipment industry manufactures X-ray machines. The unit cost C (the cost in dollars to make each X-ray machine) depends on the number of machines made. If x machines are made, then the unit cost is given by the function C (x) =x- 240x+22,923. How many machines must be made to minimize the unit cost? Do not round your answer. Number of X-ray machines: 120
