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

2x+3y=1 and y=-2 - 9 solve using linear combination method. Please explain steps.
kaheart [24]

Answer:

x=17

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3y=1

y=-2-9

  • In order to combine these two equations, an idea you need to keep in mind is finding a way of setting these equations as equal to each other. I saw that each equation shared a common value, y. In this case, we need to isolate y in the first equation so that both equations =y.

2x+3y=1

3y=-2x+1

\frac{3y}{3}=\frac{-2x+1}{3}

y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}

  • With this, we now know that both -2-9 and -\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3} are equal to y, so we can set them equal to each other.

y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}

y=-11

-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}=-11

  • Reply to this if anything I'm saying or doing is confusing in any way, or if you find a mistake. :) Solve for x.

-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}=-11

-\frac{2}{3}x=-11-\frac{1}{3}

-\frac{2}{3}x =-\frac{33}{3}-\frac{1}{3}

-\frac{2}{3}x =-\frac{34}{3}

-\frac{2}{3}x(-\frac{3}{2})=-\frac{34}{3}(-\frac{3}{2})

x=\frac{102}{6}=17

x=17

  • Hopefully this answer is correct AND makes sense in terms of how I achieved it. Again, reply to this with any questions or mistakes I made and I'll do my best to answer or fix them.
