32. The absolute value of a number x (|x|) will always be positive. It just means how far the number is from 0 on the number line.
Yes to both, and for future help, if you find a common denominator(the bottom one) by multiplication and one is higher, boom you have your answer.
Answer:
12 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
We we need to write equations to represent the situation in this problem.
x=weight of package
UPS cost=6+1+0.15(x-2)
UPS cost=6+1+0.15x-0.3
UPS cost=6.7+0.15x
FedEx cost=4+2+.25(x-2)
FedEx cost=4+2+0.25x-0.5
FedEx cost=5.5+0.25x
Next, we can set the two equations equal to each other to solve for x.
6.7+0.15x=5.5+0.25x
6.7+0.15x-5.5=5.5+0.25x-5.5
1.2+0.15x-0.15x=0.25x-0.15x
1.2/0.1=0.1x/0.1
x=12
It takes 12 pounds for the UPS and FedEx packages to cost the same amount to ship.
23/10 = 2 and 3/10
I hope this helped
