Can someone please explain this to me please?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

14)  Horrible English.

You can't have more than 2600 lbs on the elevator

or

You can have no more than 2600 lbs on the elevator.

"Can't have no more" is a double negative and quite confusing. It actually mean you Must have more than 2600 lbs on the elevator.

500 + 140x ≤ 2600

500 - 500 + 140x ≤ 2600 - 500

140x ≤ 2100

140x/140 ≤ 2100/140

x ≤ 15 people

15)  $2.49(1.80) = $4.48
