A customer at a shipping store is planning to send a package and is considering two options. The customer can send a package for $3, plus an additional $2 per pound. The cost, y, can be represented by the equation y = 3 + 2x, where x represents the amount of pounds of the package. Another option is that the customer can pay a one-time fee of $17 to send the box, represented by the equation y = 17.

Based on the graph of the system of equations, when will the cost of the two shipping options be the same?

A package that weighs 10 pounds will cost $17 for both options.
A package that weighs 7 pounds will cost $17 for both options.
A package that weighs 17 pounds will cost $31 for both options.
A package that weighs 17pounds will cost $37 for both options.
