Ht of ceiling = 10 ft which is two-thirds of living rm ceiling
Ht of living rm ceiling = 2/3x = 10 ft
2/3h = 10 ft
2/3h times 3/2 to solve for h = 10 times 3/2
h = 30/2
h = 15 ft
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of hours that that he spent washing cars.
Let y represent the number of hours that that he spent landscaping.
In a week, he can work no more than 19 total hours. This means that
x + y ≤ 19- - - - - - - - - - - -1
Jacob is working two summer jobs, making $10 per hour washing cars and making $8 per hour landscaping. He must earn at least $170. This means that
10x + 8y ≥ 170 - - - - - - - - - -2
If Jacob worked 4 hours landscaping, it means that
x + 4 ≤ 19
x ≤ 19 - 4
x ≤ 15
Also,
10x + 8 × 4 ≥ 170
10x + 32 ≥ 170
10x ≥ 170 - 32
10x ≥ 138
10x ≥ 138/10
x ≥ 13.8
The minimum number of hours is 14
