Please help! The Sugar Sweet Company will choose from two companies to transport its sugar to the market. The first company charges $3495 to rent trucks plus an additional fee of $255.50 for each ton of sugar. The second company charges $5500 to rent trucks plus an additional $125.25 fee for each ton of sugar. For what amount of sugar do the two companies charge the same? What is the cost when the two companies charge the same?

The cost when the two companies charge the same is $7,703.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' represent the number of tons.

For x tons the first company will charge:

5297 + 200.50x

For x tons the second company will charge:

6500 + 100.25x

We want to find x so that both companies charge the same, that is:

5297 + 200.50x = 6500 + 100.25x

x = 12 tons

For 12 tons both companies will charge the same.

The cost charged for 12 tones is:

5297 + 200.50*12 = $7,703

Hope this Helps! :)

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)
