To determine how much more weight can be added to the suitcase without exceeding the 50-pound limit, you need an inequality that shows that the weight of the suitcase plus the additional weight (x) must be less than or equal to 50 pounds.
The correct inequality is:
**47.75 + x ≤ 50**
This means that the total weight of the suitcase (47.75 pounds) plus any additional weight (x) should be less than or equal to 50 pounds.
The correct inequality is:
**47.75 + x ≤ 50**
This means that the total weight of the suitcase (47.75 pounds) plus any additional weight (x) should be less than or equal to 50 pounds.
