Answer 1

18x ≥ 160

Explanation:

Ashley has two jobs: mowing lawns and babysitting. She earns $10 per hour mowing lawns (x) and $8 per hour babysitting (y). And she wants to earn at least $160 per week.

Let the number of hours = x

At least = Greater than or equal to

Slope intercept form

= y = mx + c

y = $160

Hence

10x + 8x ≥ 160

18x ≥ 160
