Answer:5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A construction elevator can carry at max 2320 pounds

elevator operator weighs 195 Pounds and each palatte of roofing material weigh 425 Pounds

we can assume x be the Palatte of roofing material

Thus we can write

2320=195+425x

2125=425x

$x=\frac{2125}{425}=5$

Therefore we can use 5 Palettes
