Answer 2

First of all, whoever made the sign did not take math, or he would have simplified
the message on the sign to
x+y = 250

Now, for which of the ordered pairs do the x and the y add up to 250 ?
Does your choice also work in the un-simplified version? It must!

Answer 3

Oh, Reiny my bad 2x+2y<500 Where x and y are the weights of the riders.

That how it suppose to be

Answer 4

So what ?
Wouldn't that simply change my question to ...
"For which of the ordered pairs do the x and the y add up to less than 250" ???
