please help 3.You have two summer jobs. At the Burger Palace you earn $8 per hour. At the community center you teach soccer clinics for $10 per hour. You want to earn at least $200 a week. If x is the number of hours you work at Burger Palace and y is the number of hours you work at the community center, which graph shows all the ways you can earn at least $200 a week?

x is the number of hours you work at Burger Palace and earn $8 per hour you earn 8x dollars at Burger Palace y is the number of hours you work at the community center, and earn $10 per hour you earn 10y at community center. the total you earn is 8x+10y you this to be *at least* 200... that means you want the total to be 200 or bigger. You write it like this 8x+10y ≥ 200 you can simplify this. Divide both sides (all terms) by 2 4x + 5y ≥ 100 add -4x to both sides 5y ≥ -4x + 100 divide both sides by 5 \[ y ≥ -\frac{4}{5}x + 20 \]

OpenStudy (phi):

notice that when x is 0, you get y≥ 20 that tells you you want a graph that is shaded so that at x=0, the numbers on the y axis above 20 are shaded in. That leaves you with choices B and D But you want the graph that shows the line y = -4/5 x + 20 it has a slope of down 4 and over 5. Graph D is too steep. That leaves choice B as the answer.
