Question

a woodworker wants to earn at least $25 an hour making and selling cabinets. He pays $125 for materials. Write and solve an inequality that represents how many hours the woodworker can spend building the cabinet. (CAN YOU SOLVE THIS INEQUALITY PROBLEM FOR ME PLEASE?)

Answer 1

If the man works for $25 an hour ans spends $125 on materials he will have to make equal or more than what he spent 

25x ≥ 125

then you divide 25 from each side and that will leave you with 
x≥ 5 

so this man need to work 5 or more hours to break even or make a profit.
