Trevor tutors French for $15 and hour and scoops ice cream for $10 an hour. He is going to work 15 hours this week. At least how many hours does he need to tutor to make more than $180? Let x equal the number of hours he tutors and y be the number of hours he scoops ice cream.

x + y 180
x + y = 15
15 x + 10 y 15
15 x + 10 y = 180
