Company B; the ratios of cost to weight are equivalent.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
In the equation,
k is the constant of proportionality.
If the values are in accordance with
, the values of k will be constant for all the values.
So we determine the values of k for both the companies and see which has a constant k.
If
. In these tables, y is the total cost and x is the weight in lbs.
Step 2:
For company A,
when 
when 
when 
For company B,
when 
when 
when 
So company B has a constant value of
.
(the answer is) = 6466602
do you mean 2x squared? If so, x = 5, -5
0.5s + 1 = 7 + 4.5s Subtract 4.5s from both sides
-4s + 1 = 7 Subtract 1 from both sides
-4s = 6 Divide both sides by -4
s = -

Simplify
s = -
Your answer is simple times 6 to 3 to get 18 then 15 by 8 to get 96 then add up everything to get 114
