A small plane’s maximum takeoff weight for passengers, luggage, and cargo is 2000 pounds. Six passengers weight an average of 160 pounds each. Use an inequality to find the maximum weight of luggage and cargo the plan can carry.
-------
Let "x" be weight of luggage and cargo.]
EQUATION:
6*160+x <=2000
x<=2000-960 = 1040
luggage and cargo must be less than or equal to 1040 lbs.
