Tim earns $150/week plus $15.00 for each desk he assembles. write an inequality to represent how many desks he needs assemble to make at least $400 in one week

x = number of desks needed to make

equation:  150 +15.50x >= 400

solution:

150 +15.50x >=400

15.50x = 250

x = 250/15.50 = 16.129

he needs to assemble 17 desks

15.50*17 = 263.50 +150 = $413.50

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2
