Question

Susan makes $5 per hour babysitting and $7 per hour as a lifeguard her girl goal is to make at least $140 let x equal the number of hours that Susan babysits and why equal the number of hours Susan works as a lifeguard which of the following represents the three possible solution problem

Answer 1

The three possible solution problem could be represented by the following equation:

5x + 7y ≥ 140

Here, x represents the number of hours Susan babysits, and y represents the number of hours Susan works as a lifeguard. The left side of the equation calculates the total amount of money Susan earns from babysitting and lifeguarding, and the inequality states that this total amount must be greater than or equal to $140, which is Susan's goal.
