Answer:

p ≤ 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Maximum weight elevator can hold ≤ 1800

Weight of delivery person and packages = 520 pounds

Average weight of a person = 160 pounds

Inequality to show how many additional people elevator can hold?

(weight of delivery person and packages + average weight of persons * number of persons) ≤ 1800

Let p = number of persons

(520 + 160p) ≤ 1800

160p ≤ 1800 - 520

160p ≤ 1280

p ≤ 1280 / 160

p ≤ 8

Answer:

B. 6,8,10

Step-by-step explanation:

to find a right triangle the equation: a^2 + b^2 = c^2, so just plug each number in to see.

6^2 + 8^2 = !0^2

36 + 64 = 100

100 = 100

Personally i knew almost immediately because 3,4,5 are the most common right triangles example and 6,8,10 are just a x2 of them so yea.
