Question

I'm stuck on this problem I need help thank you

Answer 1

From the statement, we know that in a small cargo plane:

• they have 130 lb of cargo aboard,

,

• in addition, they add ,n, boxes weighing 50 lb each,

,

• the plane weight must be at most ,p, pounds.

The total weight of the plane in pounds is:

`w=50n+130.`

We know that the weight must be at most (less or equal to) p pounds, so we have the inequality:

`\begin{gathered} w\leq p \\ 50n+130\leq p\text{.} \end{gathered}`

Answer

The inequality that describes this problem is:

`50n+130\leq p`
