A cyclist takes her bike on a chairlift to the top of a slope. The chairlift can safely carry 660lbs. The

cyclist weighs 124 lbs, and the bike weighs 32 lbs. What are the possible additional weights the chairlift

can safely carry?

a) Write an inequality that represents this situation.

b) Solve the inequality to find out his possible additional weight the chairlift can carry.

Answer :

In linear equation , the chairlift can safely carry additional weight of not more then 524 lbs.

What are a definition and an example of a linear equation?

  • A linear equation with one variable is one that contains just one variable.
  • It has the formula Ax + B = 0, with A and B being any two real numbers and x being an ambiguous variable with only one possible value.
  • One such linear equation in one variable is 9x + 78 = 18.

let 'x' be the possible additional weight then

124 + 32 + x <= 680

156 + x <=680

x <= 680 - 156

x <= 524

the chairlift can safely carry additional weight of not more then 524 lbs.
