Your carry-on bag weighs 25 pounds. Carry-on bags can weigh at most 50 pounds. Write and solve an inequality to represents how much more weight you can add to the bag and still meet the requirement.

Respuesta :

Answer: Required inequality: [tex]25+x\leq 50[/tex]

we can add at most 25 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Weight added.

As per given,

25 pounds + Weight added Must be less than or equal to 50 pounds

i.e. Required inequality: [tex]25+x\leq 50[/tex]

To solve , we subtract 25 from both the sides ,we get

[tex]x\leq 25[/tex]

hence, we can add at most 25 pounds.
