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

The sum of 4 consecutive integers is 198. What is the fourth number in this sequence.
Georgia [21]
Let x, x+1,x+2, x +3 are the <span>numbers
so
</span>x + x +1 + x +2 +x +3 = 198
4x + 6 = 198
4x =198-6
4x = 192
 x = 192/4
 x = 48
 x + 1 = 48 + 1 = 49
 x + 2 = 48 + 2 = 50
 x + 3 = 48 + 3 = 51

proof
48 + 49 + 50 + 51 = 198

so the numbers are 48, 49, 50, 51

fourth number in this sequence is 51
