According to a state law for vehicles traveling on state roads, the maximum total weight of a vehicle and its contents depends on the number of axles on the vehicle. For each type of vehicle, write and graph an inequality that represents the possible total weights w (in pounds) of the vehicle and its contents.

Respuesta :

Inequalities are used to show the relationship between unequal expressions.

The inequalities that represent the maximum weights are:

  • 2 axles - [tex]x \le 40000[/tex].
  • 3 axles - [tex]x \le 60000[/tex].
  • 4 axles - [tex]x \le 80000[/tex].

Let the maximum weight be represented with x

In inequality, maximum means less than or equal to i.e. [tex]\le[/tex]

(a) 2 axles

The maximum weight, here is 40000.

So, the inequality is:

[tex]x \le 40000[/tex]

(b) 3 axles

The maximum weight, here is 60000.

So, the inequality is:

[tex]x \le 60000[/tex]

(c) 4 axles

The maximum weight, here is 80000.

So, the inequality is:

[tex]x \le 80000[/tex]
