Answer: x ≥ 8
Step-by-step explanation: Let x = per hour.
42x - 75 ≥ 260
The inequality above states that you will make $42 per hour, but you will need to spend $75 on other items, but you want to make at least $260 or more per day. Now to find the amount if hours you will need to work per day to make at least $260 we will solve for x.
42x - 75 + 75 ≥ 260 +75
42x ≥ 335
42x/42 ≥ 335/42 335/42 = about 8
x ≥ 8
So, the inequality x ≥ 8 represents how many hours a day you would have to work to make at least $260 a day or more.
