A shipping container will be used to transport several 50-kilogram crates across the country by rail. The greatest weight that c
an be loaded into the container is 24000 kilograms. Other shipments weighing 3900 kilograms have already been loaded into the container. Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine xx, the number of 50-kilogram crates that can be loaded into the shipping container.
In order to find the ordered pair we must use what we know from the first equation in the second. We already know that y = -3, so that goes into the second equation.
