could trim trees?
Use t for the number of hours.
Write your answer as an inequality solved for t.

Answer 1

Answer:

5 Hours

Step-by-step explanation:

7t - 9  ≥ 26

    -9     -9

_________

7t  ≥   35

÷7        ÷7

________

t  ≤  5

First you are to -9 from -9 and 26.

Second divide 7 from 7 and 35.

Then you should get t ≤ 5.

When you divide when using inequality's the sign ALWAYS flips.
