Answer:

Jacob should work minimum of 14 hours washings cars to meet his requirement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hours of washing cars be 'x'.

Let the number of hours of landscaping be 'y'.

Given:

Cost for Per hour for washing cars = $10

Cost for per hour Landscaping = $8

Total number of hours of working \leq 19

Amount to be earned this weekend \geq \$170

So we can say that;

x+y\leq 19

Also,

Amount to be earned this weekend should be greater than or equal to sum of Cost for Per hour for washing cars multiplied by number of hours of washing cars and Cost for per hour Landscaping multiplied by number of hours of landscaping.

framing in equation form we get;

10x+8y\geq  170

Now Number of hours he worked for landscaping y=4

So we get;

10x+8\times4\geq 170\\\\10x+32\geq 170

Subtracting both side by 32 we get;

10x+32-32\geq 170-32\\\\10x\geq 138

Dividing both side by 10.

\frac{10x}{10}\geq \frac{138}{10}\\\\x\geq 13.8

Hence Jacob should work minimum of 14 hours washings cars to meet his requirement.
