The total weight of the crates that can be loaded into the container is given by the equation 23000-7500+130x, and this should be less than or equal to 23000 since the total weight should not exceed the container's weight capacity. Therefore, the inequality would be:
23000-7500+130x ≤ 23000
A shipping container will be used to transport several 130-kilogram crates across the country by rail. The greatest weight that can be loaded into the container is 23000 kilograms. Other shipments weighing 7500 kilograms have already been loaded into the container. Which inequality can be used to determine x, the greatest number of 130-kilogram crates that can be loaded onto the shipping container?
