A shipping company charges $6 to skip a package that weighs up to 1 pound and $2 for each additional pound or portion of a pound. Which equation represents the cost, in dollars, of shipping a package that weighs x pounds?

Step-by-step explanation:

A shipping company charges $6 to ship a package that weighs up to 1 pound and $2 for each additional pound or portion of a pound.

lets make an assumption that the total weight of the shipment is x pound and cost for shipping is y.

the shipping company charges $6 for the first pound.

Up to now the charge is y=6

After 1 pound, i.e for the remaining (x-1) pounds, they charge $2 per pound.

So, the total charge will be, y=6+2(x-1)

weight is always starting from zero as there is no negative weight.so X>0

so the equation is 6(2x-1), where X is more than 0

the answer is a

step-by-step explanation:

welll its a very hard question but ill

step-by-step explanation:

first you take the 6 dollars and add 10 to it then add the 50 to that then multiply by 8 with xy and your answer will be
