Mailboxes Plus sends packages overnight for $5 plus $0.25 per ounce. United Packages charges $2 plus $0.35 per ounce. Mr. Molinari noticed that his package would cost the same to mail using either service. How much does his package weigh?

The answer is 30 ounces. set up an equation with both mail services equal to each other, then move x's to one side, then divide.

I agree with what they said. You first need to set up an equation with what you already have then once you have that then slide your X to one side of the equation and simply divide . Therefore giving you the answer already^ it set's out to be exactly 30 ounces. Or maybe you could get something else, but that's what I got and the other person too.
