Answer:
The inequality is :
6h - 4 > 26
The possible numbers of hours David could trim trees is more than 5 hours
Explanation:
David wants to earn more than $26 trimming trees. He charges $6 per hour and pays $4 in equipment fees.
Let the number of hours David works for be represented by h
More than means greater than , hence we use the inequality sign >
Hence, we have the inequality
$6 × h + $4 > $26
6h - 4 > 26
6h > 26 + 4
6h > 30
Divide both sides by 6
6h/6 > 30/6
h > 5
Hence, if David want to earn more than $26 he has to trim trees for more than 5 hours
