Answer 2

Answer:

$40x+20y\leq 480$

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

• The top soil weighs 40 pounds per bag.
• The mulch weighs 20 pounds per bag.
• The cart can only carry up to 480 pounds.

Notice that the restriction is a maximum of 480 pounds, that means the inequality must include the sign $\leq$.

Now, let's call $x$ the top soil and $y$ the mulch, the inequality that represents this problem, would be

$40x+20y\leq 480$
