Answer: In the top box: S ≥ 2000 - (S + 178)

S ≥ 2000 - A A = S + 178 substituted for A in the first equation

The solution is S ≥ 911 and A ≥ 1089

Explanation:

S ≥ 2000 - (S + 178)

S ≥ 2000 - S -178 Add S to both sides,

S + S ≥ 2000 -178

2S ≥ 1822

S ≥ 911 so A ≥ 911 + 178 A≥ 1089 (but the question shown doesn't ask that)

This means that if Shane collected at least 911 cans and Abha collected at least 1089, their total was at least 2000.
