A shipping container will be used to transport several 60-kilogram crates across the country by rail. The greatest weight that can be loaded into the container is 24000 kilograms. Other shipments weighing 3300 kilograms have already been loaded into the container. Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine xx, the number of 60-kilogram crates that can be loaded into the shipping container.

Explanation:

60x + 3300 = 24000

60x = 24000 - 3300

60x = 20700

x = 20700 ÷ 60

x = 345

x ≤345
