Answer:

12 pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the weight of the package.

For Lone Star Shipping, the cost will be:

2x + 14

For Discount Shipping Company, the cost will be:

1.5x + 20

We hence equate these two expressions equal to each other, since the cost should be same.

2x + 14 = 1.5x + 20 \\2x - 1.5x = 20 -14\\0.5x = 6\\x = 6 \div 0.5\\x = 12
