Janine babysits for $14.50 per hour. She also works as a dishwasher at her family's restaurant for $9.50 per hour. Her family ne

eds her to be at the restaurant at least 7 hours per week, but she can't work there more than 10 hours per week. She also does not want to work more than a total of 15 hours each week. She wants to make at least $140 per week.
Janine knows that in 2 weeks, her family will need her to work at the restaurant for 8 hours. If Janine can babysit in increments of 30 minutes, what is the least amount of time that she could babysit that week to earn $140? Show all your work.

The system of inequalities are
14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140
7 ≤ y ≤ 10
x + y ≤ 15
2) 14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140 represents the total amount of money Janine can earn
7 ≤ y ≤ 10 represents the range of values, Janine can spend dishwashing
x + y ≤ 15 represents the total number of hours Janine will like to work each week
3) 8 hours babysitting, 7 hours dishwashing
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
The amount per hour Janine makes from babysits = $14.50
The amount per hour Janine makes from dishwashing = $9.50
The minimum number of hours Janine can spend dishwashing = 7 hours
The maximum number of hours Janine can spend dishwashing = 10 hours
The maximum number of hours Janine can work each week = 7 hours
The minimum amount she wants to make each week = $140
Let x represent the number of hours Janine spends babysitting and let y represent the number of hours Janine spends dishwashing
1) From the question, we have;
14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140
7 ≤ y ≤ 10
x + y ≤ 15
2) Where
14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140 represents the total amount of money Janine can earn
7 ≤ y ≤ 10 represents the range of values, Janine can spend dishwashing
x + y ≤ 15 represents the total number of hours Janine will like to work each week
Making, y, the subject of the formula of the above inequalities and plotting as functions is given as follows;
y ≥ 140/9.5 - (14.5/9.5)·x
y ≤ 15 - x
3) In order to earn as much money as possible given that the amount Janine earns from babysitting is more than the amount she earns from dishwashing, Janine should spend the least amount of time dishwashing, which is 7 hours, as given, and then spend the remaining 8 hours babysitting to receive $14.5 × 8 + $9.5×7 = $182.5

Let y- 2t+ 5 be a linear function representing the distance from home for an ant tminutes after starting out from a location nea
blondinia [14]

The 5 represents the starting distance from home. In other words, when t = 0, the value of y is y = 5. Replacing t with 0 leads to this y value. This is the y intercept. So at time 0 minutes, the ant is 5 units from home. Replace "units" with whatever units you happen to be using.
