The cost to mail a package varies directly to the weight of the package. If a 14- ounce package costs $4.48 to mail, find the weight of a package that cost $8 to mail. ​

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so first, we must figure out what 1 once costs. This can be done by divideing 4.48(cost) by 14(weight).

You should get 0.32.

Now just multiply by 8 and you should get your answer. This answer is 2.56.

2.56

Another way this can be done is dividing 8(second weight) by 14(first weight) which will get you the difference. This is 0.5714 blah blah blah goes on for a long time. Now, take this number and multiply it by the 4.48(first cost). This should get you 2.56.

2.56

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12

this should .
