<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!

First draw F between E and G in a line.
FG = EG - EF
FG = 4x - 3 - x - 7
FG = 3x - 4
Answer:
22.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume is l×w×h
2 × 2.5 × 4.5 = 22.5
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
The values on the left of the table represent the number of fish caught, and the number of the right of the table represents how many family members caught that amount of fish.
Therefore, the first row means that 0 family members caught 0 fish.
The second row means that 3 family members caught 1 fish.
The third row would mean 1 family member caught 2 fish.
The next row would mean 0 family members caught 3 fish.
And the final row would mean 4 family members caught 4 fish.
The question does not ask for the total amount of fish caught; rather is ask for the maximum number of fish that a single family member caught.
Therefore, the maximum amount of fish that a single family member catches is 4. (And 4 family members did so. But individually, the maximum amount of fish one person caught is 4).
