To ship a 2 pound package, the company will charge $ and to ship a 3.5 pound package, the company will charge $

"...charges a flat rate of $5.00..." Flat rates in the business world is what we call constants in the mathematical word. That is, if we have a flat rate, that number doesn't change for anything because it has no variable attached to it (unless otherwise noted). You can identify what the constants are because they do not have the tags "per", "each", or "for every" attached to them when in the English language. In this case, this number remains the same no matter if 1 package gets shipped or a 1000 packages get shipped. So, we have the first part of our equation:  

$5.00...

Step-by-step explanation:

6e14 is the answer.

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2
