$300 per week and 60 every other week is something like $330 every week.  if she works $x$ weeks then she makes $330x$ dollars.

anonymous · Answer

the equation below is missing, but it should actually be an inequality. 
$$6600\leq 330x\leq 9900$$

anonymous · Answer

i think the answer would be 30?

anonymous · Answer

to find $x$ divide across by $330$ and get 
$$20\leq x\leq 30$$ so she must work AT LEAST 20 hours to get the car
