Question

Rebecca needs at least $130 to buy a new dress. She has already saved $58. She earns $8 an hour tutoring. Write and solve an inequality to find how many hours she will need to tutor to buy the dress.

Answer 1

X=9 sorry I also need help with high school work

Answer 2

8x + 58 = 130

x = 9

Explanation:

x = # of hours

8 dollars per hour.

So it will be 8x.

58 dollars saved so far.

So it will become 8x + 58 = 130

Because she needs 130 total

8x + 58 = 130

8x = 130 - 58

x = 72 / 8

x = 9
