The total amount of weight on an elevator cannot exceed 1,800 pounds. a delivery person is on the elevator delivering packages. together, the delivery person and the packages weigh 520 pounds. if the average weight of a person is 160 pounds, set up and solve an inequality to determine how many additional people, p, the elevator can hold.

what i would say the best answer is a. 40.5

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
