An elevator has a maximum of 2,000 pounds. There are 5 people on the elevator with the combined weight of 821 pounds. Write an inequality to solve how much more the elevator can hold

2,000 ≥ 821+x

Step-by-step explanation:

it is said that the maximum weight the elevator could hold is 2,000, so the weight in the elevator should be 2,000 or less then 2,000.

It is said that already 5 people are inside with a weight 821, in this case we only care about the weight

the inequality will look: 2,000 ≥ 821

now they asked us how much more weight can the elevator can hold

lets make (x) represent the extra weight

x= extra weight

the equation will be 2,000 ≥ 821+x

answer: 2 and 1
