A bridge can hold a maximum of 75,000 pounds. A truck that weighs 40,000 pounds carries boxes that weigh 40 pounds each. What is the maximum number of boxes the truck can carry to cross the bridge? Express your answer as an inequality.(1 point)
b ≤ [ ]
The maximum weight the bridge can hold is 75,000 pounds.
The weight of the truck is 40,000 pounds.
Let x be the number of boxes the truck can carry.
Each box weighs 40 pounds.
The weight of the boxes is 40 * x = 40x pounds.
The total weight the truck can carry is 40,000 + 40x pounds.
So, the inequality is 40,000 + 40x ≤ 75,000.
