Let the additional fee , the shipping company charges be $y .

So for 0.75 pounds, since the weight is less then 1 pound, company charge = $2x

For 3 packages with weigh 2.5 pounds, company charge 3* ( x+(2.5-1)*y )

= 3x+4.5y

For package with weighs 4.2 pounds, company charge x+(4.2-1)y = x+3.1y

So the total amount , company charge = 2x +3x +4.5y +x+3.1y

=6x +7.6y

Use logarithms to solve each equation 2x9/8=111
Illusion [34]
<span>We have this equation:
</span>
2x^{\frac{9}{8}} = 111

and we need to find the value of x.

First of all, we multiply the whole equation for 1/2, so our goal is to isolate x, therefore:

x^{\frac{9}{8}}=\frac{111}{2}
 
Next step we must do is to apply <span>logarithms:
</span>
logx^{\frac{9}{8}} = log(\frac{111}{2})

Next, we have to apply identities and then to solve the equation:

\frac{9}{8}logx = log(\frac{111}{2})
logx =  \frac{8}{9}log(\frac{111}{2})
logx = 1.5504
10^{logx} =  10^{1.5504}

Finally, we have the value of x which was our goal. This is the answer for the question above:

x= 35.5140

How will the graph of
Alexandra [31]

Answer:the answer is A) g(x) is shifted down 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the last number after the parentheses represents the vertical shift, taking away the +2, leaves you with 0 meaning that there is no vertical shift, so the function lies on the x-axis. The graph shifts down 2 units

Mademuasel [1]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  D.  in quadrant III

Step-by-step explanation:

The signs of the coordinates tell you the point is located left of, and below, the origin (where the axes cross). That puts it in Quadrant III.

A system of linear equations is graphed. Which ordered pair is the best estimate for the solution to the system? (12, 0) (1, 1)
GuDViN [60]
Line 1--------- >(0,2)     (1,-1)
y=mx+b         m=(-1-2)/(1-0)=-3
2=(-3)*(0)+b----- > b=2
y1=-3x+2

Line 2--------- >(0,-1)     (2,2)
y=mx+b         m=(2+1)/(2-0)=3/2
-1=(3/2)*(0)+b----- > b=-1
y2=(3/2)x-1

<span>using a graphic tool
see attached figure</span>

the best estimate solution for the system is <span>(1, 1) 
because </span>is the only one within the range of the x axis (-5,5) and the y axis (-5,5)
