Question

Mackenzie is working two summer jobs, washing cars and landscaping. She must work at least 17 hours altogether between both jobs in a given week. Write an inequality that would represent the possible values for the number of hours washing cars, w, and the number of hours landscaping, L, that Mackenzie can work in a given week.

please help

Answer 1

The inequality representing the possible values for the number of hours washing cars (w) and landscaping (L) Mackenzie can work is w + L ≥ 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mackenzie is working two summer jobs, and she needs to determine the possible number of hours she can work at each job while ensuring she works at least 17 hours in total. The hours spent washing cars are represented by w, and the hours spent landscaping is represented by L. The inequality representing this situation is w + L ≥ 17. This inequality means that the number of hours spent washing cars plus the number of hours spent landscaping must be at least 17 hours a week.

Answer 2

• w + l ≥ 17

---------------------------------

Total number of hours is w + l and it should be at least 17 hours, (equal to 17 or greater).

We can set inequality as:

• w + l ≥ 17
