Question

Jeremy works two jobs. he makes $8/hr working at a deli and $12/hr working for a landscaper. let x represent the number of hours he works at the deli, and let y represent the number of hours he works for the landscaper. what do the solutions of the inequality 8x 12y>300 represent?

Answer 1

Combinations of the hours he can work at the two jobs and earn at least $300

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 12y > 300

let  x represent the number of hours he works at the deli, and let y represent the number of hours he works for the landscaper.

8x represents 8 times the number of hours he works at deli

12y represents 12 times the number of hours he works for landscaper

the sum of 8x and 12y is atleast 300 dollars

It means the sum of amount of 8 times number of hours he works at deli and 12 times the number of hours he works for landscaper is atleast 300 dollars
