after \(N\) weeks, Eduardo spends \(7500+300 \cdot N\)
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
and after \(N \) weeks he earns \(850 \cdot N\), so Eduardo will have a profit if the subsequent condition holds:
\[850 \cdot N \geqslant 7500 + 300 \cdot N\]
namely earnings are greater or equal than expenses
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
please you have to solve that inequality
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Idk how

If I subtract \(300N\) from both sides I get this:
\[850N - 300N \geqslant 7500 + 300N - 300N\]
please simplify
OpenStudy (anonymous):
would that be 850-300
for the first part?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
yes!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok! 550 right?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
correct!
and what is +350-350=...?

oops.. what is +300-300=...?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I think
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
ok! so we get this inequality:
\[550N > 7500\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok

I wrote \(>\) because it is better than \(\geqslant \)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so what would I have to do next?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
now, we have to divide both side by 550, so we have:
\[\frac{{550N}}{{550}} > \frac{{7500}}{{550}}\]
please simplify again
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How would I simplify those

what is 7500/550=...?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
13.636
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
and what is 550/550=...?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
ok so we get this:
\(1 \cdot N > 13.6363...\)

since the number of week has to be a whole number we can choose N=14
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it would be 14 weeks?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
yes!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh ok thanks
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
:)

If I call with P the age of Pat and with R the age of Ron, then from the text of your problem, I can write this:
\[\begin{gathered}
2P + 5 = R \hfill \\
P + R < 35 \hfill \\
\end{gathered} \]
