Answer» p 9Step-by-step explanation:LET p people enter the bus at EVERY stop.so in 6 stops, 6p people enter the busthere are already 14 people on the bus, so the number of people on the bus after 6 stops is 14+6psince max capacity of bus is 68, the number of people in the bus will not EXCEED that. hence, 14+6p should be LESS than or equal to 68 or 14+6p 68this inequality can be solved. add and subtract 14 on both sides,14+6p-14 68-14 or 6p 54dividing throught by 6, p 54/6p 9 |
