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.
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets assume x is Elgas' age
And y is Alvins age
we know that alvin is 11 years younger than Elga which means,
x=y+11
and the sum of their age is 43
x+y=43
solve it and you get 16

Answer:
0.10x + 0.13y = 10780
x + y = 100000
x = 74000 --------------10%
y = 26000 --------------13% (more risky)
