Answer 1

One possible solution is 10 hours of tutoring and 3 hours of landscaping.

Inequality

Inequality is an expression used to show the non equal comparison of two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represents the number of hours tutoring and y represents the number of hours landscaping

From the question, we form the equations:

• x + y ≤ 13   (1)
• 18x + 9y > 180   (2)

A possible solution is (10, 3)

One possible solution is 10 hours of tutoring and 3 hours of landscaping.
