A truck is shipping jugs of drinking water and cases of paper towels. A jug of drinking water weighs 40 pounds and a case of paper towels weighs 16 pounds. The truck can carry 2,000 pounds of cargo altogether. (jug of water is w and case of paper towels is t)

The question is: Write an equation relating the number of jug of water and the number of cases of paper towels the truck can carry.

Thanks! :)

An inequality equation is an equation that compares two variables and showcases that a variable is either greater than or less than the variable at the other side of the equation.

From the given information;

Let denote the jug of water with 'w'
The case of paper towel with 't'

Then, the inequality equation relating the number of jugs of water and the number of cases of paper towels that the truck can carry can be represented as:

40w + 16t ≤ 2000
