Question

You can work a total of no more than 41 hours each week at your two jobs. Dog walking pays $5 per hour and your sales job pays $8 per hour. You need to earn at least $254 each week to pay your bills. Write a system of inequalities that shows the various numbers of hours you can work at each job.

Answer 1

Answer:

$x+y\leq 41$

$5x+8y\geq 254$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the dog walking job be x

And sales job be y

We have to form inequality  by the given information:

Work a total of no more than 41 will give us

$x+y\leq 41$

Next condition is: dog walking pays $5 and sales job pays $8 per hour  and we have to earn atleast 254 it will give us

$5x+8y\geq 254$

Hence, $x+y\leq 41$

And     $5x+8y\geq 254$
