Use a system of inequalities to model the scenario above. Let x represent babysitting hours and y represent tutoring hours. B. Use the model created in part A to create a graph representing Jeanne’s probable income earned and possible number of hours worked this week. C. Analyze the set of coordinate values that represent solutions for the model created in part A. Choose one of the coordinates within the solution and algebraically prove that the coordinate represents a true solution for the model. can someone please help me

For the answer to the question above asking to use a system of inequalities to model the scenario above. Let x represent babysitting hours and y represent tutoring hours.

I would start with a simple equation 6x+10y is more than or equal to 75
Right away looking at it I would do y=7 and x=1 then the total can become $76
