Step-by-step explanation:
let no. of hours be x.
45x - 12 ≥ 117
45x ≥ 129
x ≥ 2.8667 (5sf)
therefore, 3 hours (round up to next whole number).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
- The top soil weighs 40 pounds per bag.
- The mulch weighs 20 pounds per bag.
- The cart can only carry up to 480 pounds.
Notice that the restriction is a maximum of 480 pounds, that means the inequality must include the sign
.
Now, let's call
the top soil and
the mulch, the inequality that represents this problem, would be

The clear answer according to me would be
5a-8<24

Look at the picture.
The common part does not exist.
