Janie receives an allowance of $3 per week.

In addition, she can earn $2 for each chore she does.
This week, she wants to earn enough money to buy a CD for $13.
Janie can do fractions of chores.

Write an inequality to determine the number of chores Janie must do this week to earn enough money to buy a CD.
