Question

Kim wants to earn at least $65 from her two jobs next week. At most, she can work 15 hours. Her first job pays $5 per hour, and her second job pays $7 per hour. Let x represent the number of hours worked at the first job and y represent the number of hours worked at the second job. Which system of linear inequalities models Kim's situation?

A. x+y>15
5x+7y<65
B.x+y≤15
5x+7y≥65
C.x+y≤65
5x+7y≥15
D.x+y>65
5x+7y<15

Answer 1

The answer would be B

Since x and y equal the hours she works, adding them would at most equal to 15 since 15 hours is the most she can work

5x and 7x would equal what the gets per hour, so it should equal at least 65 if she wants to get at least $65

I hoped this helped you!
