Answer: Required inequality:
$25+x\leq 50$

we can add at most 25 pounds.

Explanation:

Let x = Weight added.

As per given,

25 pounds + Weight added Must be less than or equal to 50 pounds

i.e. Required inequality:
$25+x\leq 50$

To solve , we subtract 25 from both the sides ,we get

$x\leq 25$

hence, we can add at most 25 pounds.
