or

Step-by-step explanation:

First write an equation : note key words like "per", "each" and "total".

7 per hour

5 each

6 hours

n= number of people

E= total earnings

total earnings

So:

$7 per hour plus $5 tips per person equals total earnings

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
