    A shipping service charges $0.43 for the first ounce and $0.29 for each additional ounce of package weight. Write an equation to represent the price P of shipping a package that weighs x ounces, for any whole number of ounces greater than or equal to 1.

    Set up the price function P(x)
    P(x) = 0.43 + 0.29(x - 1)
