Question

Question 4 of 5 A carry-on bag can weigh at most 45 pounds before the airline charges extra. Your empty suitcase weighs 8 pounds. Write and solve an inequality that shows how many pounds of items, x, you can pack in your suitcase without paying extra. O A. x+8>45 X> 37 OB. x-8245 X≥ 53 OC. x+8 ≤45 x≤ 37 D. x+8 ≤45 x≤ 53​

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

if your suitcase already weighs 8 lbs and the limit is 45:

assume x is how much additional weight you can have

x+8 has to be ≤ 45.

subtract 8 for both sides

x≤37
