Answer 1

Company B will charge less to move her items

Explanation:

A. Expression that represents the rate each company charges

Let x = number of pounds moved

Company A = 230 + 3.40x

Company B = 270 + 2.80x

B. If Sheila has a total of 1,250 pounds of household items

Substitute x = 1,250

Company A = 230 + 3.40x

= 230 + 3.40(1,250)

= 230 + 4,250

= 4,480

Company A = $4,480

Company B = 270 + 2.80x

= 270 + 2.80(1,250)

= 270 + 3,500

= 3,770

Company B = $3,770

Company B will charge less to move her items
