SOLUTION

The initial points is 1050

The points earned per hour is 350

The total point y earned in x hours is:


y\ge350x+1050

Substitute y=2450 into the inequality


2450\ge350x+1050

Solve for x


\begin{gathered} 2450-1050\ge350x \\ 1400\ge350x \\ x\le4 \end{gathered}

Therefore the lease number of hours is 4.
