Question

Jim earns $30 for each lawn he mows. Jim wants to earn at least $180 next week mowing lawns. Which inequality will help Jim determine the number of lawns, x, he must mow next week? Plz show work and explain your work.

A. 180 - 30 ≤ x
B. 180 + 30 ≥ x
C. 30x ≤ 180
D. 30x ≥ 180

Answer 1

Answer: Your answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation: $30 for each lawn, and he wants to have at least $180 next week. So:

180 / 30 = 6.

30 x 6 = 180.

So, 30x is greater than or equal to 180.

Answer 2

d. 30x ≥ 180

Explanation:

if x is the number of lawns and 30 is how much he gets for each lawn, it would be 30x. And in this situation, it needs to be equal to or more than 180.
