Jordan get a $10 allowance and works a job that pays $7.00 per hour. Alex gets a $20 allowance and works a job that pays $6.50 per hour. If they both work the same number of hours each week, how many hours would they need to work to have the same amount of money for the week?

20 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of hours

Jordan

Allowance = $10

Pay per hour = $7

Total = 10 + 7x

Alex

Allowance = $20

Pay per hour = $6.50

Total = 20 + 6.50x

Equate total of Jordan and Alex earnings

10 + 7x = 20 + 6.50x

Collect like terms

10 - 20 = 6.50x - 7x

-10 = - 0.5x

Divide both sides by - 0.5

x = -10 / -0.5

= 20

x = 20 hours

Jordan and Alex will both work for 20 hours to have the same amount of money in a week

so firstly, we need to isolate the y variables to be able to solve these inequalities. firstly, add 0.5x on both sides of the first inequality and subtract 1.5x on both sides of the second inequality:

now since the slope is positive for the first inequality, this means that the line going upwards belongs to the first inequality, and the line going downwards belongs to the second inequality.

next, since y ≥ in the first inequality, this means that the shaded region will be above the first inequality's line, thus shading regions a and b.

next, since y ≤ in the second inequality, this means that the shaded region is going to be below this line, thus shading regions a and c.

since both lines shade region a, this means that region a is the solution.
