John's job pays $10 an hour plus $8 of transportation allowance each week. He has to work at least 15 hours a week to keep
the job and can earn up to $308 per week (including the allowance).

Answer 1

x ≥ 5, 8.25x + 10 = 175, and x = 20 hours.

Explanation:

Let Lin works x hours per week.

Now given that Lin’s job pays $8.25 an hour plus $10 of transportation allowance each week.

And she has to work at least 5 hours a week to $175 per week.

So, the inequality that can be written from the above condition is x ≥ 5 .......(1)

And the equation that can be written that

8.25x + 10 = 175 ....... (2)

Now, fro equation (2) we can write x = 20 hours which satisfies equation (1).
