To mail a package, the rate is x cents for the first pound and y cents for each additional pound, where x> y. two packages weighing 3 pounds and 5 pounds, respectively, can be mailed separately or combined as one package. which method is cheaper, and how much money is saved?

109 is the nearest whole number/final answer! : )

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.
