Answer 1

Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is:

14x +126>= 280 for the equation

and

He will need to mow 11 more yards for the solution!

Step-by-step explanation:

14x +126 >= 280

14x >= 154

/14

x>= 11

Plug back into the equation to check your work!

14(11)+126 >= 280

280>= 280

I hope this helps!
