Write A inequality that will represent The possible values for the number Of hours Live guarding,l and The number of hours washing cars W That Lauren can work In a given week

Answer 1

`L + W \leq 9`

Explanation:

Given

Represent lifeguarding cars with L

Represent washing cars with W

`Hours = 9\ hours` --- at most

Required

Express the scenario as an inequality

First, we need to determine the number of hours Lauren can work.

This is calculated as follows:

`Total\ Hours = L + W`

From the question, we understand that the total hours cannot exceed 9 hours.

This can be expressed as
`\leq 9`

So, we have:

`Total\ Hours \leq 9`

Substitute L + W for Total Hours

`L + W \leq 9`
