Question

The airplane Li’s family will be flying on can seat up to 149 passengers. If 96 passengers are currently on the plane, which inequality can be used to determine how many more people can board?(1 point)Responses96+x>14996 plus x is greater than 14996+x≤14996 plus x is less than or equal to 14996+x≥14996 plus x is greater than or equal to 14996+x<149

Answer 1

To determine how many more people can board the airplane that can seat up to 149 passengers, we can set up the inequality based on the current number of passengers (96) and the maximum seating capacity (149).

Let \( x \) be the number of additional passengers that can board.

The total number of passengers if \( x \) more people board would be \( 96 + x \). We want this total to be less than or equal to 149:

\[ 96 + x \leq 149 \]

Thus, the correct inequality is:

96 + x ≤ 149

So the answer is: 96 + x ≤ 149.
