The maximum weight allowed per car on The Twister carnival ride is 263 pounds. Your friend weighs 86
pounds. To be able to ride in a car together, how much can you weigh? Write and solve the inequality.
(1 point)
x + 177 ≤ 263; at most 86 pounds
x – 86 ≤ 263; at most 177 pounds
x + 86 ≤ 263; at most 177 pounds
x + 86 ≤ 177; at most 263 pounds
x ≤ 263 - 177 - 86
x ≤ 0
Therefore, there is no weight that you can add to your friend's weight of 86 pounds to be able to ride in a car together, as the weight allowed per car cannot be exceeded.

The maximum weight allowed per car on The Twister carnival ride is 263 pounds. Your friend weighs 86
pounds. To be able to ride in a car together, how much can you weigh? Write and solve the inequality.
A. x + 177 ≤ 263; at most 86 pounds
B. x – 86 ≤ 263; at most 177 pounds
C. x + 86 ≤ 263; at most 177 pounds
D. x + 86 ≤ 177; at most 263 pounds
B. x - 86 ≤ 263; at most 177 pounds
To ride in the car together, the combined weight of you and your friend must be less than or equal to 263 pounds. Let x be your weight.
So, the inequality is:
x + 86 ≤ 263
Subtract 86 from both sides:
x ≤ 263 - 86
Simplify:
x ≤ 177
Therefore, you can weigh at most 177 pounds to ride in the car together with your friend.
To write an inequality for the sentence "Twelve less than a number is at most 7," we can let "x" represent the unknown number.
The inequality can be written as:
x - 12 ≤ 7
To solve this inequality, we can begin by adding 12 to both sides of the inequality to isolate the variable "x":
x - 12 + 12 ≤ 7 + 12
x ≤ 19
The solution to the inequality is x ≤ 19. This means that any number less than or equal to 19 will satisfy the original statement "Twelve less than a number is at most 7."
