Answer:
6.77 pounds or 6 7/9 pounds
Explanation:
10 ≥ 4.99 + 0.74x
1. Swap sides
4.99 + 0.74x ≤ 10
2. Subtract 4.99 on both sides
(4.99 - 4.99) + 0.74x ≤ 10 - 4.99 = 0.74x ≤ 10 - 4.99
3. Subtract 4.99 from 10
0.74x ≤ 5.01
4. Divide both sides by 0.74
(0.74x/0.74) ≤ (5.01/0.74) = x ≤ 5.01/0.74
5. Solve
x ≤ 5.01/0.74 =
x ≤ 501/74 ≈
6.77
