Ricky needs $45 to buy a jacket. he has saved $15 and plans to work as a babysitter to earn $5 per hour. which inequality shows the minimum number of hours, n, that ricky should work as a babysitter to earn enough to buy the jacket?

select one:
a. 5n ≥ 45 + 15, so n ≥ 12
b. 5n ≤ 45 + 15, so n ≤ 12
c. 15 + 5n ≥ 45, so n ≥ 6
d. 15 + 5n ≤ 45, so n ≤ 6

c. 15 + 5n ≥ 45, so n ≥ 6

Step-by-step explanation:

a

step-by-step explanation:

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
