Mason is working two summer jobs, making $20 per hour lifeguarding and making $10 per hour landscaping. In a given week, he can work no more than 13 total hours and must earn at least $170. If xx represents the number of hours lifeguarding and yy represents the number of hours landscaping, write and solve a system of inequalities graphically and determine one possible solution.

Answer :

Answer:

[tex]x = 4\\y = 9[/tex] hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

x represents the number of hours lifeguarding and y represents the number of hours landscaping

[tex]x+ y = 13[/tex] -----Eq ( 1 )

and

[tex]20 * x + 10 * y = 170[/tex] -----Eq ( 2 )

Substituting the value of [tex]x = 13-y[/tex] in equation 2, we get -

[tex]20* (13 - y) + 10 y = 170[/tex]

[tex]260 - 20 y + 10 y = 170\\10y = 90\\y = 9[/tex]

[tex]x = 13-9 = 4[/tex]
