The maximum weight allowed per car on The Wildcat carnival ride is 221 pounds. Your friend weight 60 pounds. To be able to ride in a car together, how much can you weigh? Write and solve an inequality.
Let x be the weight you can add to your friend's weight to stay under the maximum weight allowed:
60 + x ≤ 221
Subtracting 60 from both sides:
x ≤ 161
Therefore, you can weigh at most 161 pounds to ride in a car with your 60-pound friend on The Wildcat carnival ride.
