You can add 1350 additional watts without overloading the circuit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Circuit overloads at 2400 watts

Electricity used by heater = 1050 watts

Let,

x be the number of additional watts.

Electricity used by heater + Additional watts ≤ Circuit's capacity

[tex]1050+x\leq 2400[/tex]

Subtracting 1050 from both sides

[tex]1050-1050+x\leq 2400\\x\leq 1350[/tex]

You can add 1350 additional watts without overloading the circuit.
