10000 = 1200 + 50m\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solve to find m = 176, so the truck can carry 176 pounds maximum.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, m can be any value from 100 to 176 and W can be any value from 6200 to 10000.
