We know that he weeds gardens for 15 hours, and mows lawns for x hours.
If he wants to earn $252 per month, we can express the following

Now, we solve for x

<h2>Hence, he has to mow lawns for 13 hours to earn at least $252.</h2>
Answer: one of ten or one over two
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 2y = 7 . . . (1)
y = x + 1 . . . (2)
Putting (2) into (1) gives
5x + 2(x + 1) = 7 => 5x + 2x + 2 = 7 => 7x = 7 - 2 = 5 => x = 5/7
From (2) y = 5/7 + 1 = 12/7
Therefore, solution is {(5/7, 12/7)}
<span>You only need an estimate? Great. Think of the necessary material as 6 yards, so ten costumes would take 60 yards. Then think of the fabric on hand as 240 yards, so taking 60 yards away from that would leave [an estimated] 180 yards of fabric.
For an equation, use:
F" = F' - 5.8 C
Where F' is the initial fabric stock, F" is the remaining fabric, and C is the count of costumes.
In exact numbers, the formula works out to:
F" = 238.2 - (5.8 * 10)
F" = 180.2
The estimate was very close.
Good luck.</span>
