Answer:

Hours inequality (solution set): 0 ≤ x ≤ 7

Cost inequality: $2 ≤ y ≤ $100

Explanation:

The babysitter charges $14 dollars per hour + bus fare

Price per hour = $14

Bus fare = $2

Mr. Tyler wants to spend no more than $100

Subtract the bus fare from the total amount, as that will not contribute to the babysitter's hours

$100 - $2 = $98

Divide by $14 per hour

$98 ÷ $14 = 7 hours

The maximum amount of time that Mr. Tyler could hire the babysitter for is 7 hours

This means that the hours cannot be greater than 7. It is given that x cannot be less than 0, because the babysitter cannot work negative hours.

0 ≤ x ≤ 7

This inequality shows that the Mr. Tyler will not have the babysitter work for less than 0 hours, or more than 7 hours. He will have to pay $2 minimum, or $100 max. Below is the inequality to represent this:

(y represents amount Mr. Tyler will pay)

$2 ≤ y ≤ $100

Hope this helps :)
