You can earn money by tutoring for $8 per hour and by walking dogs for $7.50 per hour. If you are scheduled to tutor for 10 hours during the week, create and solve an inequality that represents the number of hours you can walk dogs during the week in order to eaen at least $290 for the week.

28 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hours required to:

Tutor = x

Walk the dog = y

If you are scheduled to tutor for 10 hours during the week

x = 10 Equation 1

You can earn money by tutoring for $8 per hour and by walking dogs for $7.50 per hour. Create and solve an inequality that represents the number of hours you can walk dogs during the week in order to earn at least $290 for the week

$8 × x + $7.50 × y ≥ $290

8x + 7.50y ≥ 290 Equation 2

We substitute 10 for x in Equation 2

8(10 ) + 7.50y ≥ 290

80 +7.50y ≥ 290

7.50y ≥ 290 - 80

7.50y ≥ 210

y ≥ 210/7.50

y ≥ 28 hours

The number of hours you can walk dogs during the week in order to earn at least $290 for the week is 28 hours
