Answer 1

@iGreen.

Answer 2

263 is the max, or you can be less than that, so we use the \(\le\) sign.

Answer 3

K

Answer 4

Lol all the answers have ≤ anyway

Answer 5

Okay, well we add 86 to 'x'..so what should the answer be?

Answer 6

263 + 86?

Answer 7

Hold on.

Answer 8

Sure thing

Answer 9

I said we add 'x' to 86..

Answer 10

Does x = 177?

Answer 11

Well, no..but 177 is the max you can weigh.

Answer 12

So which one should be your answer?

Answer 13

Well how can you add x to 86 when you don't know what x is?

Answer 14

We don't..we just write it as adding to 86..like if we add 13 to 'x':

x + 13

Answer 15

x + 86 ≤ 263; at most 177 pounds?

Answer 16

Yep, you got it.

Answer 17

Thank you you don't know how much of a lifesaver you are :)
