Which three inequalities can model this situation? Select all the correct answers. x(15 + 400) > 520 520 < 400 + 15x 15x > 120 15x + 520 > 400 520 < 15x + 400x 15x + 400 > 520

Answer 1

Answer:

an needs to walk dogs for at least 9 hours in order to earn more than $520 a week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since his car wash attendant job pays $400 a week then you can subtract that from your final revenue.

$520-$400=$120

Now, to find out how many hours he has to walk dogs for in order to earn more than $520, you need to know some basic multiplication so...

$15×8=$120

...but he needs to earn MORE than $520 so...

$15×9=$135

$400+$135=$535.
