PLEASE HELP!!!!

Nelson is tired of bullying the kids at school and decides to start working 2 jobs.
He can work no more than 10 hours each week between the 2 jobs. House Cleaning pays $5 per hour and his sales job pays $8 per hour. He needs to earn at least $56 each week to pay his bills.
Write a system of inequalities that shows the various numbers of hours he can work at each job.
x = House cleaning
y = sales job
