Whole package weighs 20pounds
1.65 = 5pounds
0.12 = extra pound
3.45 - 1.65 = 1.80 : 0.12 = 15pounds
Adding up 15pounds and the first 5 pounds equal 20 pounds

Expression for area of triangle
This is calculated using

Assume that:

The equation becomes

Let
A (x1,y1)-------> (1,5)
B (x2,y2)------> (5,10)
C (x3,y3)------> (9,15)
D (x4,y4)------> (13,20)
find the slope
AB
m=(10-5)/(5-1)-----> m=5/4
find the slope
CB
m=(15-10)/(9-5)-----> m=5/4
find the slope
DC
m=(20-15)/(13-9)-----> m=5/4
so
<span>the relationship shown is linear
</span>
<span>to model the data with an equation find the equation of a line
</span>with m=5/4 and point A (1,5)
y-y1=m*(x-x1)-----> y-5=(5/4)*(x-1)----> y=1.25x-1.25+5-----> y=1.25x+3.75
the equation to model data isy=1.25x+3.75
see the attached figure
