X=132
To find y
180-132= 48
180-68-48=64
y=64
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
12 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
We we need to write equations to represent the situation in this problem.
x=weight of package
UPS cost=6+1+0.15(x-2)
UPS cost=6+1+0.15x-0.3
UPS cost=6.7+0.15x
FedEx cost=4+2+.25(x-2)
FedEx cost=4+2+0.25x-0.5
FedEx cost=5.5+0.25x
Next, we can set the two equations equal to each other to solve for x.
6.7+0.15x=5.5+0.25x
6.7+0.15x-5.5=5.5+0.25x-5.5
1.2+0.15x-0.15x=0.25x-0.15x
1.2/0.1=0.1x/0.1
x=12
It takes 12 pounds for the UPS and FedEx packages to cost the same amount to ship.
 
        
             
        
        
        
To write this equation, you need use the formula y=mx+b.
m represents the slope and b represents the y intercept.
The y intercept is the point where the line touches the y axis. In this case, the y-intercept is 1.
The slope is just rise over run from one coordinate to another. The slope is 2/-1 which could be simplified as -2. The slope just means that we are going up 2 and left 1 to get to a new coordinate. 
The equation is y=-2x+1
Have a good day! :)
