Let

p--------> number of additional people who can enter the pool

we know that

the maximum capacity of the pool is
600\ people

so

the inequality is


430+p \leq 600


p \leq 600-430


p \leq 170

the solution is the interval ----------> (-∞,170]

but remember that the number of people can't be a negative number

so

the solution is the interval -------> [0,170]

therefore

the answer is

The inequality is equal to
430+p \leq 600
