Trevor tutors french for $12 an hour and scoops ice cream for $8 an hour. he is going to work 20 hours this week. at least how many hours does he need to tutor to make more than $190? let x equal the number of hours he tutors and y be the number of hours he scoops ice cream.

at least how many hours does trevor need to tutor to make more than $190? express the answer as a decimal number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let M = total amount of money earned

M = 12x+8y

To make more than $190, the equation is:

190<12x+8y

Since Trevor is going to scoop ice cream for 20 hours, the equation is:

190<12x+8(20), which simplifies to 190<12x+160.

Isolate x to find the amount of hours that Trevor needs to tutor.

190-160<12x

30<12x

30/12<x

2.5<x

Trevor must tutor for more than 2.5 hours to make more than $190.

the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. if you take the three sides of a triangle and add them in pairs, the sum is greater than (not equal to) the third side. if that is not true, then it is not possible to construct a triangle with the given side lengths.
