Answer is 11.5
Total weight of the shipment is 65, and 1 envelope weight 7.5 that’s means
65-7.5= 57.5
As we are looking for each box weight in pounds so you divided 57.5/5 =11.50
Hope this helps!
Initial weight= 65 lbs total
STEP 1
Subtract weight of envelope from total weight
65 - 7.5= 57.5 lbs for 5 boxes
STEP 2
Divide remaining weight equally into 5 parts (5 boxes of equal weight)
57.5 ÷ 5= 11.5 lbs per box
ANSWER: Each box weighs (B) 11.5 pounds.
Hope this helps! :)

4 4
Step-by-step explanation:
m= 4 -> 1

y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y+1 = m(x-2)
y+1 = 1(x-2)

y+1 = 1x -1
4 2
y = 1x - 3
4 4
