The maximum weight allowed per car on the wallcat carnival ride is 221 pounds your friend weighs 60 pounds be able to ride in the car together how much can you way? write and solve an inequality
Let x be the weight of the person who will ride with the friend.
The inequality that represents the maximum weight allowed is:
x + 60 ≤ 221
Subtracting 60 from both sides, we get:
x ≤ 221 - 60
x ≤ 161
Therefore, the person who will ride with the friend cannot weigh more than 161 pounds to ride on the wallcat carnival ride together.
