Step-by-step explanation:
This is assuming you haven't answered already... Mr Cooper helped me find it
Start with an equation.
Nine less... so -9
3 times a number = 3x
Greater than 40 is >40
So put together is 3x-9>40
When solving I imaging the greater than sign as an equal sign. Less confusing.
3x-9=40
3x=49
x>49/3

Earning
Earning 

differentiate to get the maximum value

Equate
to get maximum value
