Answer 2

Answer:

4 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine what weight would make the cost the same for each company, we need to set these equations equal to each other. So,

2.5x+2.45=2.75x+1.45

To solve for x, we need to subtract 1.45.

2.5x+2.45=2.75x+1.45

        -1.45            -1.45

Our equation is now 2.5x+1=2.75. Now, we have to subtract 2.5x from each side to then divide.

2.5x+1=2.75x

-2.5x    -2.5x

The new equation is 0.25x=1. Now we can multiply 4 to find x.

0.25x*4=1*4

And you should get x=4 lbs.
