My truck can carry a load of at least $800$ pounds more than each of her trucks, but no more than $\frac{1}{3}$ of the total load her four trucks combined can carry. Based on these facts, what is the greatest load I can be sure that my large truck can carry, in pounds?

\n" ); document.write( "Let x be the number of pounds each of your neighbor's trucks can carry. Then the problem says

\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B800+=+%281%2F3%29%2A4x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B800+=+%284%2F3%29x%7D%7D%0D%0A%7B%7B%7B800+=+%281%2F3%29x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2400+=+x\"

\n" ); document.write( "Your neighbor's trucks can each carry 2400 pounds; yours can carry 2400+800 = 3200 pounds.
