Question

nathan makes $10 an hour delivering pizzas and $5 an hour babysitting his sister. he wants to make atleast $40, and his mom said he has to work for less than six hours a week. put this into a system of inequalities equation

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let's denote the number of hours Nathan works delivering pizzas as "x" and the number of hours he works babysitting as "y." We can set up the following system of inequalities:

Nathan's total earnings should be at least $40:

10x + 5y ≥ 40

Nathan's total working hours should be less than six hours a week:

x + y < 6

These two inequalities represent the given conditions that Nathan wants to make at least $40 and work for less than six hours a week.
