You have already saved $55. You earn $9 per hour at your job. You are saving for a bicycle that costs $199. What inequality represents the possible
numbers of hours you need to work to buy the bicycle?

$55+$9x≥$199

You must work for at least 16 hours to be able to buy the bicycle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hours you need to work to buy the bicycle.

You already have $55.

⇒$55+ −−−−−≥ −−−−−

You also earn $9 per hour.

Algebraically, this can be written as 9x.

⇒$55+$9x≥ −−−−−

You need to earn at least $199 to buy the bicycle.

⇒$55+$9x≥$199

The ≥ sign is used because the left-hand side of the inequality must be "greater than or equal to" $199.

Let's find out how many hours you need to work to buy the bicycle.

Subtracting $55 from both sides of the inequality:

⇒$55−$55+9x≥$199−$55

⇒$9x≥$144

Dividing both sides by $9:

⇒$9x$9$=$144$9

∴x≥16

Therefore, you need to work at least 16 hours to afford the bicycle.

consider an orange peel: if you want to try and lay it flat, you have to stretch it, we know exactly how things are being stretched or squashed at any given point. we have many different map projections because each has different patterns of some projections can even preserve certain features of the earth without
