8. Translate to an Inequality:
Ex3) Mr. Kelly, Mr. Brust and Mr. Sullivan all met by one common interest, THE BOBSLED! In fact they were pretty darn good, they were just one-thousandth of a second from qualifying for the medals at the 1998 Nagano, Japan Winter Olympics. While bobsledding, they had to maintain a balance, in terms of weight. The weight of the bobsled combined with the weight of the three men couldn’t be over 1200 pounds.
Define the variables:
Let x =
Let y =
Translate to an Inequality:
READ A, B C Below.
Equation 1:

Circle One:
Graphing

9. a) Create an inequality where x represents the weight of the bobsled and y represents the weight of the three men. Graph the inequality below. Include proper labeling on each axis, units and shading.

10. b) If the bobsled weighed 480 pounds what are all the possible weights of the three men combined?
c) Could the bobsled weigh 520 pounds and the men weigh 685 pounds? Why or why not? Explain how your answer can be interpreted by using the graph?
