Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!! ON TIME LIMIT!!!!!!!!!!

Jimmy needs $42 to buy a pack of comic books. He has saved $18 and plans to work as a babysitter to earn $6 per hour. Which inequality shows the minimum number of hours, n, that Jimmy should work as a babysitter to earn enough to buy a pack of comic books? 6n ≥ 42 + 18, so n ≥ 10 6n ≤ 42 + 18, so n ≤ 10 18 + 6n ≤ 42, so n ≤ 4 18 + 6n ≥ 42, so n ≥ 4

Answer 1

18 + 6n ≥ 42, so n ≥ 4 is the answer I believe.
I hope Im not too late.

I hope this helps :)

Answer 2

`\$18+6n\geq \$42`

so
`n\geq 4`

Explanation:

Let

n------> the number of hours working as babysitter

we know that

The inequality that represent the situation is equal to

`\$18+6n\geq \$42`

Solve for n

Subtract
`\$18` both sides

`6n\geq \$42-\$18`

`6n\geq \$24`

Divide by
`6` both sides

`n\geq \$24/6`

`n\geq 4`
