Study Notes
Elevator Weight Limit
- Two large boxes and three small boxes weigh 270 pounds
- One large box and four small boxes weigh 235 pounds
- The elevator weight limit is 2000 pounds
- A 200-pound delivery person is also on the elevator
Inequality
- The inequality represents the number of large (x) and small (y) boxes a 200-pound person can take on the elevator.
- This is found by adding the weight of the boxes and the weight of the person to the total weight limit. The sum of the weights of the boxes and the person cannot exceed the total weight limit.
- The inequality is: 270x + 235y + 200 ≤ 2000
