Question

yanyin is loading identical boxes onto a pallet. each box weighs 35 pounds, and the pallet can hold a maximum of 1,500 pounds. which of the following inequalities best describes x, the number of boxes yanyin can load onto the pallet? choose 1 answer: a ( x + 35 geq 1,500 ) b ( x + 35 leq 1,500 ) c ( 35x geq 1,500 ) d ( 35x leq 1,500 )

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total box weight

Total weight of $x$ boxes is $35x$ pounds.

Step2: Set weight limit inequality

Total weight ≤ maximum pallet capacity:
$35x \leq 1500$

Answer:

D. $35x \leq 1,500$
