UPS charges $6.00 for the first pound, $1.00 for the second pound, and $0.15 for each additional pound. FedEx charges $4.00 for the first pound, $2.00
for second pound, and $0.25 for each additional pound. How many pounds, p. will it take for UPS and FedEx to cost the same?
Complete the equation that represents this situation.

the answer would be c:   ax + b = ax + c

step-by-step explanation:

correct answer is b. 27/8

step-by-step explanation:

answer is 8x+24

area of vanessa's patio = length × width

given, length = (3x² + 5x + 10)

width = (x² - 3x - 1)

area of vanessa's patio = (3x² + 5x + 10)(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x²(x² - 3x - 1) + 5x(x² - 3x - 1) + 10(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x⁴ - 9x³ - 3x² + 5x³ - 15x² - 5x + 10x² - 30x - 10

= 3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10

hence, expression of vanessa's patio = (3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10)
