Question

5. Carla babysits and tutors to make extra money. She babysits for $5 an hour and tutors for $10 an hour.
She can only work at most 15 hours a week. She wants to go on a trip with her friend and needs to
make $95 dollars this week to cover the cost of the trip. Graph a system of linear inequalities that
represents this situation. Using this graph, identify at least one combination of hours that will NOT be a
solution to this system of inequalities.

Answer 1

Carla can babysit for 5 hours and tutor for 7 hours or babysit for 8 hours and tutor for 5.5 hours

How to graph the inequality?

Let x represents hours babysitting and y represents hours tutoring

So, we have:

Earnings = Rate of babysitting * x + Rate of tutoring* y

This gives

Earnings = 5x + 10y

He wants to earn at least $95.

This means that:

5x + 10y ≥ 95

See attachment for the graph of the inequality

From the attached graph, two possible solutions are: (5, 7) and (8, 5.5)

This means that Carla can babysit for 5 hours and tutor for 7 hours or babysit for 8 hours and tutor for 5.5 hours
