Final answer:

LaShawn can spend 2 hours building a website and 3 hours updating a website in a week. Thus, the correct option is C (2,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a possible solution for how many hours LaShawn can spend building and updating websites in a week, we can set up a system of inequalities based on the given information.

Let x be the number of hours LaShawn spends building a website, and y be the number of hours LaShawn spends updating a website in a week.

According to the given information, he wants to earn at least $100 every week, so we have the inequality 25x + 15y ≥ 100.

He also does not want to work more than 6 hours each week, so we have the inequality x + y ≤ 6.

Combining these two inequalities, we can solve for possible values of x and y.

The possible solution that satisfies both inequalities is (2, 3), so the answer is option C.
