ok if you know that klogg weighs 170 and the elevator can only carry up to 2000lbs all you have to do is subtract 170 from 2000 and divide the result by 69. if it doesn't go into the result evenly you just want the whole number not the fraction part of it. hope that helps

If the elevator can carry 2000 pounds and you know Klogg weighs 170, subtract his weight from 2000, then divide 69 into the remainder to see how many boxes can be carried.
2000 1830/69= 26.52
-170
1830 Klogg can take 26 boxes

You need an inequality equation. Let x=the number of whole boxes the elevator can handle at one time. Your equation should be: 170 + 69x
If you get stuck, ask again and I'll try to help!

(2000 minus 170)divided by 69
2000-170=1830
1830/69=26.5
26

you would do 69x26 and you should get 414. then you add 1,380 and you should get 1,794 then add 170 and you should get 1,964 and that will be your answer.and he can take 26 boxes
