<u>Let's take this problem step-by-step</u>:
<u>Let's first set up some variables</u>:
- c: # of children
- a: # of adults
<u>Let's examine the information given:</u>
- Elevator can hold a maximum of 1500 pounds
⇒ average child is 75 pounds
⇒ average adult is 150 pounds
⇒<em> therefore</em>: 
- Elevator can fit no more than 14 people
⇒ <em>therefore</em>: 
<u>Let's graph the equations</u>:

⇒ look at the image attached
<u>The point at which the two graphs intersect:</u>
⇒ <em>is the solution that represents the amount of children and adults and </em>
<em> their combine weight</em>
<em />
<u><em>With the horizontal axis being the # of children and vertical axis being the # of adults</em></u><em>:</em>
<em> ⇒ the </em><em>solution is 8 children and 6 adults</em>
<em></em>
<u>Answer: 8 children and 6 adults</u>
<u></u>
Hope that helped!

1) this is simply solving it, so if you divide 16 by 3, you end up getting 5 1/3
2) 3 1/2, by multiplying 7 by 1/2
3) 224, by multiplying 14 by 16
4) 54 mph, by dividing 324 by 6
5) blue, because only the 1/4 ribbon color would be collected after 3/4 mile
6) 7/8 - 3/8 equals 4/8, or 1/2 when simplified
Hi there! :)

To solve, we can simply divide and multiply by 100 to solve for the percentage:
5 / 25 = 5 ÷ 25 = 1/5 or 0.20
Multiply the decimal by 100 to solve for the percentage:
0.20 × 100 = 20%
Answer:
x = 5
y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply the second equation by -1 and add the first equation to eliminate "x"

_____________


Replace "y" in the first equation:
