You are an entrepreneur and selling handmade kites. Your company Kites-R-Fun has been contacted by a customer in Alaska who wants to purchase several of your best-selling kites and wants you to ship them to her. You have already established the cost at $4 each and it's only going to cost you $8 to ship these items to Alaska. Your competitor Windy Kites sells the same items, but charges half of your price. However, if the customer buys from your competitor, she will be charged $20 in shipping costs. Write two equations to represent the customer's total cost based on how many kites she purchases from each company where y is the total cost and x is the number of kites purchased.
1. Total cost for Kites-R-Fun *
y = 4x + 8
y = 4x + 20
y = 8x + 4
y = 8x + 20
2. Total Cost for Windy Kites *
y = 2x + 10
y = 2x + 20
y = 8x + 20
y = 20x + 4

3. If the customer in Alaska wants to buy 4 kits, who should she buy from? *
Kites-R-Fun
Windy Kites
4. If the customer in Alaska wants to buy 10 kits, who should she buy from? *
Kites-R-Fun
Windy Kites

do you have the answers i’m taking this rn i’m gonna literally cry lol

Step-by-step explanation:

x= -3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify brackets

4 - x - 1 = 6

step 2: simpilfy

3 - x = 6

step 3: subtract 3 from both sides

-x = 6 - 3

step 4: simpilfy 6 - 3

-x = 3

step 5: multiply both sides by -1

x = -3

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
