Jaquez earns money by doing yard work. It takes her an average of 3 hours to pull weeds and an average of 2.5 hours to mow the lawn. She can work no more than 8 hours a day. She charges $50 to weed and $65 to mow the lawn. She needs to cover her expenses of $120 to make a profit. Write a system of inequalities that would help determine how many flowerbeds and lawns he could complete on a given day.

W is weeding and M is mowing

If you need to solve that equation, the most work she could get done in one day is weeding 1 yard and mowing 2 yards
