Renna pushes the elevator button, but the elevator does
not move. the mass limit for the elevator is 450
kilograms (kg), but renna and her load of identical
packages mass a total of 620 kg. each package has a
mass of 37.4 kg
write an inequality to determine the number of
packages, p, renna could remove from the elevator
to meet the mass requirement.

4 box removed from the elevator.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of package = p

The The mass limit for the elevator is 450  kilograms (kg)

Ronna and her load of identical  packages mass a total of 620 kg.

Each package mass = 37.4 kg

Find the inequality to determine the number of

packages, p,  Renna could remove from the elevator  to meet the mass requirement.

So , the difference between the total mass and mass of package p is less than or equal to mass limit of an elevator

So, the inequality is.

Solve above inequality for number of package.

Therefore, 4 box removed from the elevator.

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
