Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Expression for Larry will be;

$\ 21 + \ Y\geq \ X$

Expression for Zach will be;

$\ 25 + \ Y\geq \ X$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Larry gets $7 for each of the 3 flower beds he weeds and Y dollars to edge a yard.

Amount for each flower bed he weeds = $7

Number of flower bed he weeds = 3

Total amount he gets for 3 flower bed he weeds = $\ 7\times 3 =\ 21$

Amount earn to edge a yard = Y

Total amount Larry will earn = $21 + $Y

Now Zach will get $25 to clean a garage and Y dollars to wash a car.

Amount earned to clean garage = $25

Amount earned to wash as car = $Y

Total Amount Zach will earn = $25 + $Y

The Both have to make X dollars to meet their goals.

Expression for Larry will be;

$\ 21 + \ Y\geq \ X$

Expression for Zach will be;

$\ 25 + \ Y\geq \ X$
