Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Maximum capacity of the elevator = 2000 pounds
Combined weight of the elevator = 428 pounds
A). Let the possible weights that can be added to the elevator = w pounds
B). Therefore, inequality representing this situation will be,
428 + w < 2000
C). By solving the given inequality,
(428 + w) - 428 < 2000 - 428
w < 1572 pounds
Now we draw this inequality on a number line.
