Question

Adam earn $25 per week for allowance plus an additional $10 per yard he mows around the neighborhood. Write an inequality to represent how many lawns Adam would have to mow in one week if he needs to earn more than $150 for a new bicycle. *Use y for the variable

Answer 1

10y + 25 ≥ $150

10 is the variable in this case, he gets $10 per lawn.
25 is the constant because he gets a fixed value of $25 in a week.

Both of these values have to be greater than or equal to $150 if he wants enough for the new bike.
