Let x be the number of boxes the team brings with them. Their weight combined with the boxes can't exceed the capacity of 1400. Assuming the elevator runs fine at that exact weight, you want to find the number of boxes, each of which contributes 40 pounds. This is given by the equation

1400=1200+40x

Solving for x, you have

1400=1200-40x
200=40x
x=5

So the team can bring *at most* 5 boxes at a time.

The locations of E' and F' are E' (−4, 0) and F' (0, 2), and lines g and g' are the same line.

The locations of E' and F' are E' (−2, 0) and F' (0, 1), and lines g and g' are parallel.

The locations of E' and F' are E' (−1, 0) and F' (0, 0), and lines g and g' are not related.

are your answer options I went with..  The locations of E' and F' are E' (−2, 0) and F' (0, 1), and lines g and g' are parallel.
