A shipping container will be used to transport several 50-kilogram crates across the
country by rail. The greatest weight that can be loaded into the container is 26500
kilograms. Other shipments weighing 3200 kilograms have already been loaded into
the container. Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine x, the
number of 50-kilogram crates that can be loaded into the shipping container.

Respuesta :

Answer: 4660

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Weight of a single crate =50 kg

Maximum weight in the container =26500 kg

Other shipments weight Β =3200 kg

Here, x is the no of 50 kg crate

Weight of x crates and other shipments must be equal to or less than 26500 i.e.

[tex]50x+3200\leq 26500[/tex]

subtracting 3200 both sides

[tex]5x\leq23300\\x\leq4660[/tex]

So, maximum no of crates to be loaded are 4660

Answer:

Inequality: 50x+3200[tex]\leq[/tex]26500

Final answer: x[tex]\leq[/tex]460

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to now how many 50 kilogram boxes we can get on so 50x (X repersenting the amount of boxes.
