An airline charges an extra fee if a carry-on bag weighs more than 30 pounds. After packing, Lorrie's carry-on weighs 21.2 pounds. The inequality represents the amount of weight Lorrie can add to the carry-on without going over the 30-pound limit. 21.2 + w less-than-or-equal-to 30 How much weight can Lorrie add to the carry-on without going over the 30-pound limit?

8.8 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

To avoid paying extra fees ; carry-on bag should weigh ≤ 30 pounds

Weight of Lorries carry-on = 21.2 pound

Maximum Weight that can be added without going above the 30 pounds limit = w

The inequality reprentation :

21.2 + w ≤ 30

Subtract 21.2 from both sides ;

21.2 + w - 21.2 ≤ 30 - 21.2

w ≤ 8.8

Hence, Maximum Weight that can be added without going above the 30 pounds limit is 8.8 pounds.
