LaShawn designs websites for local businesses. He charges $25 an hour to build a website, and charges $15 an hour to update websites once he builds them. He wants to earn at least $100 every week, but he does not want to work more than 6 hours each week. What is a possible weekly number of hours LaShawn can spend building websites x and updating websites y that will allow him to obtain his goals?

Answer:

1 hour to build a website

5 hours to update websites

Explanation:

x is the hours to build a website

y is the hours to update websites

x + y = 6 ------> 25x + 25y = 150

25x + 15y = 100

10y = 50

y = 5

25x + 15 (5) = 100

25x + 75 = 100

25x = 25

x = 1

So, LaShawn needs 1 hour to build a website and 5 hours to update websites to allow him to reach his goals.
