(199-55)/9= t
Let t equal the number of hours you have to work

9x+55>199(Its greater than or equal too but I dont have that symbol on the phone) because you need at least 199 dollars but you could make more. You already have the 55 dollars and the x equals the amount of hours of work you would possibly have to do
