1. a painter earns $15 per hour. what is the minimum number of hours he must work to earn at least $200? write an inequality to represent this situation and solve. show your work. (will get brainiest if you show all work)

So you know that he earns $15 per hour so we can write that as 15h, h = # of hours worked

We also know he has to earn AT LEAST  $200, so putting all this together we form the inequality(=< means less than or equal to):     15h =< 200

so now we have to solve for h (number of hours worked):

15h =< 200

(divide both sides by 15)

h =< 13 1/3

So, the painter must work a minimum of 13 and 1/3 hours to earn at least $200.

Hope this helps!  :)

answer: domain and range mean all possible values of x and y that could be substituted to the inequality. a solution means all possible values that make the inequality statement true. so while the range is still all real numbers, the solution is the shaded area, for which y will always be greater than the line of the function.
