You can work a total of no more than 15 hours each week at your two jobs. Housecleaning pays $8 per hour and your sales job pays $10 per hour.

You need to earn at least $130 each week to pay your bills.

Write a system of inequalities to represent this situation. DO NOT SOLVE.
Let x = # of hours housecleaning and y = # of hours at the sales job
