Question

Lauren is working two summer jobs, making $11 per hour washing cars and $6 per hour walking dogs. Lauren must earn no less than $120 this week. Write an inequality that would represent the possible values for the number of hours washing cars, w, and the number of hours walking dogs, d, that Lauren can work in a given week

Answer 1

11w+6d≥120

Explanation:

this is straghit from my delt math so it has to be right

Answer 2

11w + 6g ≥ 120

Explanation:

Let's set:

w = number of hours Lauren spent washing cars

d = number of hours Lauren spent walking dogs

Lauren makes $11 per hour washing cars, thus she earns 11w in total for washing cars.

Lauren makes $6 per hour walking dogs, thus she earns 6d in total for walking dogs.

The total earnings are:

T = 11w + 6g

Lauren must earn not less than $120 this week, thus:

11w + 6g ≥ 120

This is the required inequality
