Lennox plans to earn at least $240 babysitting and mowing lawsn this summer. She will charge $4 per hour babysitting and $3 per hour mosing lawns. She would like to work a maximum of 50 hours this summer. She wrote the following system of linear inequalities to determine combinations of jobs she can do. Let x = the number of hours spent babysitting, and y = the number of hours spent mowing lawns. 12x + 11y ≥ 300 x+y≤50 Select the choice that will earn her at least $240, but will not require more than 50 hours per week.

• 20 hours of babysitting and 50 hours of mowing lawns

• 30 hours of babysitting and 40 hours of mowing lawns

• 20 hours of babysitting and 20 hours of mowing lawns

• 10 hours of babysitting and 10 hours of mowing lawns

• 30 hours of babysitting and 10 hours of mowing lawns

• (3, -2)

• (-6, 0)

A moving truck rental company A charges $40 per day plus 20 cents per mile driven. Company B charges $25 per day plus 50 cents per mile driven. When will moving truck rental company A be cheaper than moving truck rental company B for a one-day rental?

• With a one-day rental, if you drive more than 50 miles, then moving rental company A will be cheaper than company B.

• With a one-day rental, if you drive more than 100 miles, then moving rental company A will be cheaper than company B.

• With a one-day rental, if you drive more than 150 miles, then moving rental company A will be cheaper than company B.

• With a one-day rental, if you drive more than 175 miles, then moving rental company A will be cheaper than company B.
