Geoffrey is trying to earn $50 to buy a video game. He has saved $14.25. He earns $3.75 per hour cleaning windows with his uncle and he earns $6.50 per hour working at the grocery store. Can Fred buy the video game if he works with his uncle for 3 hours and at the grocery store for 4 hours? Use the inequality 3.75y + 6.50z + 14.25 ≥ 50.
