Answer:

[tex]x \leq 377\ pounds[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the weights (in pounds) that the other competitors bench-pressed

Since the other competitors bench-pressed at least 23 pounds less than 400 pounds

That means ---> The maximum weight that other competitors could bench press was (400-23)=377 pounds

therefore

The inequality for this problem should be

[tex]x \leq 377\ pounds[/tex]
