Deepak is a landscaper who charges $30 for each job he does plus an additional $15 for each hour he works. He only accepts jobs if he will earn at least $90 per job. He writes this inequality to determine x, the number of hours he must work during each job in order to accomplish this.

30 + 15 x greater-than-or-equal-to 90
