x = lbs
y = total cost
ABC shipping: $7 + $1x = y
XYZ shipping: $10 + $0.75x = y
We set each equation equal to the other.
$7 + $1x = $10 + $0.75x. Subtract $7 from both sides and subtract $0.75x from both sides
$0.25x = $3. Divide each side by $0.25.
x = 12 lbs
When a package is 12lbs the cost is the same.
The product using exponents would be -2^3= -8
