plsssssss help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Answer 1

umm

Explanation:

The maximum number of pounds p is 224

Explanation:

Let

p ----> the maximum number of pounds he can pull without going over the weight limit

we know that

121 pound of rock in the wheelbarrow plus p pounds must be at most 345 pounds

In this problem the word "at most" means "less than or equal to"

The inequality that represent this situation is

solve for p

subtract 121 both sides

therefore

The maximum number of pounds is 224
