Question

Larry gets $7 for each of the 3 flower beds he weeds and Y dollars to edge a yard. Zach will get $25 to clean a garage and Y dollars to wash a car. Both Larry and Zach need to make X dollars to meet their goal. Write an expression for the amount each has to earn to reach his goal.

Answer 1

Expression for Larry will be;

`\$21 + \$Y\geq \$X`

Expression for Zach will be;

`\$25 + \$Y\geq \$X`

Explanation:

Given:

Larry gets $7 for each of the 3 flower beds he weeds and Y dollars to edge a yard.

Amount for each flower bed he weeds = $7

Number of flower bed he weeds = 3

Total amount he gets for 3 flower bed he weeds =
`\$7* 3 =\$21`

Amount earn to edge a yard = Y

Total amount Larry will earn = $21 + $Y

Now Zach will get $25 to clean a garage and Y dollars to wash a car.

Amount earned to clean garage = $25

Amount earned to wash as car = $Y

Total Amount Zach will earn = $25 + $Y

The Both have to make X dollars to meet their goals.

Expression for Larry will be;

`\$21 + \$Y\geq \$X`

Expression for Zach will be;

`\$25 + \$Y\geq \$X`
