Jeanne babysits for $7 per hour. She also works as a tutor for $9 per hour. She is only allowed to work 18 hours per week. She wants to make at least $65. Let x be the hours worked babysitting and let y be the hours worked tutoring. Model the scenario with a system of inequalities. Please show all work. Thanks <3

Respuesta :

7x + 9y > = 65
x + y < = 18

Answer: [tex]x+y\leq18[/tex] and [tex]7x+9y\geq65[/tex]


Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the hours worked babysitting and let y be the hours worked tutoring.

As Jeanne babysits for $7 per hour. She also works as a tutor for $9 per hour.

Total hours she can work= 18 hours

Thus,  [tex]x+y\leq18[/tex]

She wants to make at least $65.

It gives that [tex]7x+9y\geq65[/tex]

Thus, the system of inequalities are written as

[tex]x+y\leq18[/tex]

[tex]7x+9y\geq65[/tex]
