The number of suitcases that can be loaded onto the plane depends on the weight of each suitcase and the maximum weight the plane can hold. Let's use s to represent the weight of one suitcase.
The inequality that expresses this situation is:
s * x ≤ 1,750
where x is the number of suitcases that can be loaded onto the plane.
This inequality states that the total weight of the suitcases (s * x) must be less than or equal to the maximum weight the plane can hold (1,750 pounds).
how many suitcases averaging 25 pounds apiece can be loaded onto a plane that can hold a maximum of 1,750 pounds of storage? how would you write an inequality expressing this situation? use s for the weight of one suitcase, and include it on the left side or the inequality. do not solve the inequality
