I cant do the less than or equal to sign so I wrote it in words. Hope this helps :)

Answer:

5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent Ben's weight gain.

[tex]138 \geq 133 + x\\[/tex]

Subtract 133 from both sides

[tex]5 \geq x[/tex]

Therefore, Ben can't gain more than 5 points if he wishes to stay in the same weight class.
