Question

Write an inequality that would represent the possible values for the number of hours babysitting, b, and the number of hours tutoring, t, that Layla can work in a given week.

Answer 1

number of hours babysitting = b

number of hours tutoring = t

Therefore, the possible number of hours she can work for a given week can be represented with the following inequalities.

According to the question, she can only work at most 8 hours altogether between both jobs. At most 8 hours means it is less than or equal to 8

$b+t\leq8$
