Together, all the containers must hold at least $785,000$ pounds, the weight of the cargo.$\newline$Select the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. Use the given numbers and the following variables.$\newline$$x =$ the number of shorter containers$\newline$$y =$ the number of longer containers$\newline$Choices:$\newline$(A) 44,300x + 61,800y > 785,000$\newline$(B) 44,300 + x + 61,800 + y > 785,000$\newline$(C) $44,300x + 61,800y \geq 785,000$$\newline$(D) $44,300 + x + 61,800 + y \geq 785,000$
