The inequality is 1.3x + 26 ≤ 65, where x is the number of books Jerrica can put in the box. The solution to this inequality is x ≤ (65 - 26)/1.3, which simplifies to x ≤ 29. Jerrica can put at most 29 books in the box.
that is wrong
Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's reevaluate the problem.

The weight of the container is 26 pounds. Let's denote the number of books as "x". Each book weighs 1.3 pounds. The total weight of the books will be 1.3x.

Jerrica can put at most 65 pounds of weight in the box. So the inequality to represent this situation is:

1.3x + 26 ≤ 65

To find the solution, we need to isolate "x" on one side of the inequality:

1.3x ≤ 65 - 26

1.3x ≤ 39

Now we divide both sides by 1.3:

x ≤ 39/1.3

x ≤ 30

Therefore, the correct inequality is 1.3x + 26 ≤ 65 and the solution is x ≤ 30. Jerrica can put at most 30 books in the box.
