Answer:

AXB={(0,a), (0,n), (0,t), (w,a), (w,n), (w, t)}

BXA={(a, 0), (a, w), (n, 0), (n, w), (t, 0), (t, w)}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you take the first element of set A (0) as the first coordinate and then you take the first element of set B (a) as your second coordinate. The first pair of AxB would be (0,a).

Then you pair the first element of A with the second element of B. Then the first element of A with the third of B.

After that you pair the second element of A with all the elements of B and finally you pair all elements of A with all elements of B. Finally you check that all pairs that are repeated. You just write one for any repeated pair.

UPS charges $7 for the first pound, and $0.20 for each additional pound. FedEx charges $5 for the first pound and $0.30 for each

Answer:

1. 20 pounds

2. $11

Step-by-step explanation:

To set this up, you have to use a system of equations. It would look like this, where $p$ is pounds and $t$ is total cost:

UPS: $t=7+0.20p$

FedEx: $t=5+0.30p$

In order to solve a system of equations you must either a.) graph it, or b.) set them equal to each other.

If you graph it, the answer is where the two lines intersect.

If you set them equal to each other, solve it.

I will set them equal to each other in this:

$7+0.20p=5+0.30p$

The first step in a problem like this, where there's the same variable on both sides, is to subtract the smaller variable from both sides. In this case, it is $0.20x$ . That would turn the equation into:

$7=5+0.10p$

After that, you must solve it like a regular two-step equation.

Start by subtracting 5 from both sides:

$2=0.10p$

Now, you must divide both sides by $0.10$ .

$\frac{2}{0.10}=\frac{0.10p}{0.10}$

That would give us:

$20=p$

This means that in order for the prices to be the same, the package must be 20 pounds.

Now in order to find the total cost, you must plug 20 into one of the equations. It doesn't matter which, since they both equal the same. I will plug it into the FedEx equation:

$t=5+0.30(20)$
