Answer:
x=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
there are three x's and five one's so the equation is 3x+5
on the other side there are 2 negative x's and 10 negative one's so the equation is -2x-10
set them equal to each other
3x+5=-2x-10
5x=-15
x=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
A shipping company charges $6 to ship a package that weighs up to 1 pound and $2 for each additional pound or portion of a pound.
lets make an assumption that the total weight of the shipment is x pound and cost for shipping is y.
the shipping company charges $6 for the first pound.
Up to now the charge is y=6
After 1 pound, i.e for the remaining (x-1) pounds, they charge $2 per pound.
So, the total charge will be, y=6+2(x-1)
weight is always starting from zero as there is no negative weight.so X>0
so the equation is 6(2x-1), where X is more than 0
X + y = 3500 -------------- (1)
x - y = 2342 --------------- (2)
(1) + (2):
2x = 5842
x = 2921 -------------- Sub into (1)
x+ y = 3500
2921 + y = 3500
y = 3500 - 2921
y = 579
----------------------------------------------
Answer: x = 2921, y = 579
----------------------------------------------
