Question

Roy works more than 30 hours each week. He has worked 17 hours already. Write and solve and inequality that shows the numbers of hours h that Roy has left to work​

Answer 1

h > 30 is the inequality that represent his total work hours.

h > 13 is the inequality that represent the hours Roy needs to work

Explanation:

Let h be the number of hours Roy works.

So, according to the question:

h > 30 is the inequality that represent his total work hours.

Since, he already has worked for 17 hours,

So, the minimum number of hours he need to work to make 30 hours

= 30 - 17 = 13 hours.

So, Roy needs to work for more than 13 hours each week.

⇒ h > 13 is the inequality that represent the hours Roy needs to work to work for more than 30 hours a week.
