Answer:

x\geq3

12x+7y\leq63

y\geq0

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let x be the amount of live bait and y be the amount of natural bait, Then we can come up with the following inequalities;

We are told that John would like to get at least 3 pounds of live bait. At least 3 means 3 or more. Since x represents the amount of live bait, we have;

x\geq3

Moreover,we are informed that;

The store sells live bait for $12 a pound and natural bait for $7 a pound. x pounds of live bait would cost 12x while y pounds of natural bait would cost 7y. The total cost would thus be;

12x + 7y

but John only has a budget of $63. This implies that he can spend $63 at most, thus;

12x+7y\leq63

Finally we can have our last inequality as;

y\geq0

H = hrs she worked
p = phone calls she answered

h x 10 + p x .25 = maggies earnings

Part A
h x 10 + 60 x .25 = 115

Part B
h x 10 + 15 = 115 (multiplied 60 x .25)
h x10 = 100 (subtracted 15 from each side of the equation)
h = 10 (divided 10 into each side)

Part C
10 hrs
