Answer:

additional weight ≤ 425 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The appropriate relation is ...

current weight + additional weight ≤ elevator capacity

Filling in the given values, we get ...

2375 pounds + additional weight ≤ 2800 pounds . . . . . your inequality

additional weight ≤ 425 pounds . . . . . subtract 2375 pounds (the solution)

The elevator can hold up to 425 additional pounds.
