Inequality

Inequality is an expression used to show the relationship between numbers and variables.

Let x represent the number of refrigerator and y represent the number of piano. Hence:

250x + 525y ≤ 5900

For 10 refrigerators and 7 pianos:

250(10) + 525(7)  = 6175 ≥ 5900

10 refrigerators and 7 pianos would overload the​ truck.
