The maximum weight allowed on The Wildcat ride is 221 pounds. Your friend weighs 60 pounds. To be able to ride in a car together, how much can you weigh? Write and solve an inequality. Is this the correct answer?: x + 60 ¡Ü 221; at most 161 pounds? Please answer soon and Thanks!
Please don’t snap at me, but this site is meant for teachers to check your homework, not give out free answers. With all do respect, sir (ma’am), but it is kind of a low move to hop onto this site and expect people to give you answers. I am working on the test right now, in fact, and I needed to check an answer when I found this— the test is not that hard, unless all unit you have Beene on the jiskha site cheating answers than you might have a bit of a problem. Math is important in your future, you should practice it! :)

Blackbird , I understand, but let's say something serious. People ask for ONE QUESTION, and then other people give full answers to all of the tests. Half of the time, they are wrong, and want to teach people a lesson to stop cheating, or just pranking people to believe those were right... so yeah, overall, what you say means nothing to them...
Answers anyone?
To solve this problem, you can use an inequality to determine the maximum weight you can have in order to ride in the car with your friend. The inequality should be set up such that the sum of your weight (represented by x) and your friend's weight (60 pounds) is less than or equal to 221 pounds.
The correct inequality is:
x + 60 ≤ 221
To find the maximum value of x, you can solve this inequality:
x + 60 - 60 ≤ 221 - 60
x ≤ 161
Therefore, the correct answer is that you can weigh at most 161 pounds in order to ride in the car together with your friend.
