A 3+2x>26
B 3+2x<26
C2+3x<26

Answer 1

There is only one crate which weighs 2 lb.
There are many boxes weighing 3 lb each.
1 box weighs (3)1
2 boxes weigh 3(2)
3 boxes weigh 3(3)
4 boxes weigh 3(4)
x boxes weigh 3x
You have the crate which weighs 2 + the boxes which weigh 3x. When you add those two, the result has to be less than 26.
Try writing the inequality now.
