Darien Anthony · Answer 1

T = hours

42 + 7.6T < 110.40

subtract 42 from each side

7.6T < 110.40 - 42

7.6T < 68.4

divide each side by 7.6

T < 9

T > = 0 as well because you cannot rent less than 0 hours

0< = T < 9 hours

Jocelyn Rose · Answer 2

42 + 7.60T ≤ 110.40 and the answer would be everything less than nine hours and including nine hours so 0-9 x<9
