Answer:

12a + 8b < 120c

Explanation:

to write the inequalities, you have to label the variables. Lets let a be the yard work, b be the work at the family resteraunt, and c be the total hours of work. You would get an equation of:

12a + 8b < 120c

Also I apologize, I do not know how to graph this equation in a type box
