The maximum weight of a box  (in pounds) that Sahndi can send with  $25 is 17.68 pounds

A linear equation is in the form:

y = mx + b

where m is the rate of change and b is the initial value of y, y, x are variables.

Let y represent the amount of money needed to send x pounds of goods. Hence:

y = 1.29x + 2.19

Since she has $25, the maximum weight is:

25 = 1.29x + 2.19

1.29x = 22.81

x = 17.68 pounds

Therefore the maximum weight of a box  (in pounds) that Sahndi can send with  $25 is 17.68 pounds
