Tyler needs at least $205 for a new video game system. he has already saves $30. he earns $7 an hour at his job. write and solve an inequality to find how many hours he will need to work to buy the system. interpret the solution.

Amount needed=earned+already have
205=earned+30
earned=7 times number of hours=7h

205≤7h+30
we used the less than or equal to because he needs at least 205, means 205 or greater must be earned

205≤7h+30
minus 30 both sides
175≤7h
divide both sides by 7
25≤h
needs to work at least 25 hours

So, first, gather your important information:

"at least $205"
"already has $30"
"$7 per hour"

now rewrite this into numbers and symbols:

"at least $205" ... >/= 205 (his money MUST be over 205)
"already has $30" ... +30 (he's already saved 30, so add it)
"$7 per hour" ... 7h (he makes 7 an hour)

put all of those together.
7h + 30 >/= 205

this is your inequality. seven dollars an hour plus the thirty dollars he already saved must equal at least 205.

now, solve it for h:
7h + 30 >/= 205 ... subtract 30
7h >/= 175 ... divide by 7
h >/= 25

because your h variable stands for the hours worked, he must work at least 25 hours to have enough money to buy his new video game system.

Recall that area of the triangle is 1/2*(base)*(height)1/2*(13)*(17) = 110.5the answer is 110.5
