Renna pushed the button for the elevator to go up, but it would not move. The weight limit for the elevator is 450 kilograms, bu

t the current group of passengers weighs a total of 750 kilograms. Renna wants to determine how many 70 kilogram passengers need to get off the elevator.
Let p represent the number of excess passengers. Write an inequality to determine the number of passengers who need to get off the elevator to meet the weight requirement.

The answer is really 5 and the inequality is 750-70p≤450. 750−70p

750−750−70p

−70p

−70

−70p

≤450

≤450−750

≤−300

Here is the solution based on the given situation above.
Given: 450 kg = weight limit of the elevator
           750 kg = current weight of the group of passengers
           ? = number of passengers who weigh 70 kgs that need to get off the elevator
So to get the answer, first we need to deduct 450kg from 750 kgs to get the excess weight. So 750 - 450 is 300kgs. Next, we divide 300 by 70kgs to get the number of passengers that need to get off so 300/70 is 4.3. Therefore, there should be 4 passengers who weigh 70 kilograms that need to get off the elevator.

I’m pretty confused on this question. Anyone know the answers?
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

• If m > 0, then the line slopes upwards from left to right ( increases )

• If m < 0, then the line slopes downwards from left to right ( decreases )

(a)

y + x = 3 ( subtract x from both sides )

y = - x + 3 ← in slope-intercept form

with m = - 1 ⇒ decreasing from left to right

(c)

y = 4x + 8 ← is in slope-intercept form

with m = 4 ⇒ increasing from left to right

the equation of a line in the form x = c represents a vertical line, where c is the value of the x-coordinates the line passes through

(b)

x - 5 = 0 ( add 5 to both sides )

x = 5 ← is a vertical line

the equation of a line in the form y = c represents a horizontal line, where c is the value of the y-coordinates the line passes through

(d)

\frac{y}{4} = - 6 ( multiply both sides by 4 )

y = - 24 ← is a horizontal line

-(x+3) = 2x-6 what is x
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

So, first you make sure to multiply the parenthesis by the negative so then it would be,

-x-3=2x-6

Then you add the -3 from the right to the other side

so, -x=2x-3

Then you want all the X variables to one side so you subtract the 2x to both sides.

so, -3x=-3

divide both by -3

x=1

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

It will take 3 hours. They will both have completed 11 rows.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 row of carrots per hour = frank

3 rows of tomatoes per hour = frank's mom

right now, this is how many they have completed

frank - 8 rows

mom - 2 rows

1st hour

f - 9

m - 5

2nd hour

f - 10

m - 8

3rd hour

f - 11

m - 11
