Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of hours to pull weed in a day

Let y = number of hours to now lawn in a day

It takes her an average of 3 hours to pull weeds and an average of 2.5 hours to mow the lawn. She can work no more than 8 hours a day.

This means

3x + 2.5y is lesser than/ equal to 8

She charges $50 to weed and $65 to mow the lawn.

This means she charges

50x +65y

She needs to cover her expenses of $120 to make a profit. This means she needs to earn an amount greater than or equal to $120

50x + 65y greater than or equal to 120
