Graph Linear Inequalities in Two Variables · Exercise 41
Harrison works two part time jobs. One at a gas station that pays $11 an hour and the other is IT troubleshooting for \ 16.50 an hour. Between the two jobs, Harrison wants to earn at least \330 a week. How many hours does Harrison need to work at each job to earn at least $330?
ⓐ Let x be the number of hours he works at the gas station and let y be the number of (hours he works troubleshooting. Write an inequality that would model this situation.
ⓑ Graph the inequality.
ⓒ Find three ordered pairs that would be solutions to the inequality. Then, explain what that means for Harrison.
