Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP Greg wants to earn more than $50 trimming trees. He charges $6 per hour and pays $4 In equipment fees. What are the possible numbers of hours Greg could trim trees? Use t for the number of hours. ​

Answer 1

Greg could trim trees anywhere more than 7.67 hours for more than $50.

Explanation:

First, set up the equation. Since he doesn't have a fixed number of dollars to earn (it is more than $50, not just $50), this would be an inequality.

50 < 6t - 4

50 is the principle goal, 6t because t is hours, and he gets $6 every hour, and - 4 because he pays a one time fee for equiment.

Then, you solve the inequality the way you would with one-variable inequalities:

50 < 6t - 4

46 < 6t

7.67 < t

Answer 2

Explanation:

h = number of hours, e = number of equipment

50 > 6t - 4e
