UPS charges $7 for the first pound, and $0.20 for each additional pound. FedEx charges $5 for the first pound and $0.30 for each

additional pound. Let p represent the number of pounds. How many pounds will it take for UPS and FedEx to cost the same? Explain.
Write an equation and solve (hint: since it is asking you about costing the same, think about what goes on either side of the equals sign).

Answer:

The answer is 20 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the number of pounds.

UPS charges $7 for the first pound, and $0.20 for each additional pound.

7+0.20p

FedEx charges $5 for the first pound and $0.30 for each additional pound.

5+0.30p

To know the number of pounds it will take for UPS and FedEx to cost the same, we will equal both the equations.

7+0.20p=5+0.30p

=> 7-5=0.30p-0.20p

=> 2=0.10p

=> p = 20

Hence, it will take 20 pounds to make both equal.

Mario was given some birthday
Len [333]

The answer would be option B "he was given $50 for his birthday."


Here is how:


Y=

^

Y equals the amount of money in the account.

75$+50$=

75x represents the amount of money he DEPOSITS which is in the question.

So if he deposits 75$ a week (which represents X) and he adds 50$ to it which means he has 50$ to begin with which means he got 50$ for his birthday.


Also....


Because 75x already represents X therefore it wouldn't be options A, C or D.


Hope this helps!

We have to find the slope of the line that passes through this points:
p1(-2,15), p2(-8,-5)
the slope of a line through two points is calculated like this:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
where x1,y1,x2,y2 are the coordinates of the two points, so we have:
m = (-5 - 15)/(-8 - (-2))
m = (-20)/(-8 + 2)
m = -20/-6
m = 10/3
that is the line slope

Which of the following equations is the translation 2 units down of the graph of y = |x |?
Sveta_85 [38]
Y=|x|-2

this can be easily seen by testing f(0) for all functions:
f1(0)=|0-2|=2
f2(0)=|x+2|=2
f3(0)=|x|-2=-2
f4(0)=|x|+2=2

f(0)=|x|=0, because you want to translate it 2 units down -2 is the expected value
