STEP 1

Assumptions1. The load carrying capacity of the tire at32 psi is1949 lb. The load carrying capacity at26 psi is196 lb less than it was at32 psi

STEP 2

We know that the load carrying capacity at26 psi is196 lb less than it was at32 psi. We can express this as a subtraction problem.
$$Load\, capacity\, at\,26\, psi = Load\, capacity\, at\,32\, psi -196\, lb$$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given value for the load carrying capacity at32 psi to calculate the load carrying capacity at26 psi.
$$Load\, capacity\, at\,26\, psi =1949\, lb -196\, lb$$

Calculate the load carrying capacity at26 psi.
$$Load\, capacity\, at\,26\, psi =1949\, lb -196\, lb =1753\, lb$$The tire's load carrying capacity at26 psi is1753 lb.
