Answer:

32 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

$3 flat fee for a package, plus a fee based on the weight of the package. The company charges $0.75 per pound, plus an additional $0.50 for every pound over 12 pounds.

The first step would be to derived an equation

$3 + $0.75

3 + 0.75x

Where x = number of pounds

George plans on sending a package that is over 12 pounds. He has $27 to spend on shipping.

Hence,

3 + 0.75x = 27

0.75x + 3 = 27

0.75x = 27 - 3

0.75x = 24

x = 24/0.75

x = 32 pounds

The maximum number of pounds that this package could be is 32 pounds

Graph matching 50 Points!
Sloan [31]

Step-by-step explanation: To find the graphs, we look at the problem and the graph. Let's do it step-by-step.

No. 1 is y = 1/2.

To find the corresponding graph, we look closely at the graph.

Look at the 2nd graph. Do you see a dot by 1/2? I do!

So, No. 1 matches with the 2nd graph.

No. 2 is y = 2.

Like I said, we look closely at the graph.

Look at the 4th graph. Do you see a dot by 2? I do!

So, No. 2 matches with the 4th graph.

No. 3 is y = 4.

Now, we look closely at the graph.

Look at the 3rd and the 4th graph. Do you see a dot by 4? I do!

So, No. 3 matches with the 3rd and the 4th graph.

Lastly, No. 4 is y = 1/4.

Let's look closely at the graph.

Look at the 1st graph. Do you see a dot by 1/4? I do!

So, No. 4 matches with the 2nd graph.

Therefore, our answers are:

No. 1 matches with the 2nd graph

No. 2 matches with the 4th graph.

No. 3 matches with the 4th and the 3rd graph.

No. 4 matches with the 1st and the 2nd graph.

2) B = 2 Therefore, 15 = 8(2) - 5 + 2(2)

3) B = -0.9 Therefore, -10 + 4(3(-0.9) + 10) = 19.
