Elsa Bowers · Answer 1

X = nr. hrs working for a farmer;

y = nr. hrs. babysitting;

x + y < = 25;

10x + 5y > = 150

a) Solve the system = > one of the solution is x = 5; y = 20 (babysitting)

b) 10 + 12 = 22 = 150.

Elliott Lynch · Answer 2

You can work only as a farmer 15 hours per week

10x+5y>=150 = > 10 x > = 150 - 5y : 5 = > 2x >=30-y = > 30-2x < = y

x+y

y>=30-2x

y<=25-x
