OpenStudy (michele_laino):

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

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

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=...?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

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

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

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

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

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: \(1 \cdot N > 13.6363...\)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

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):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have one more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Michele_Laino

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: \[\begin{gathered} 2P + 5 = R \hfill \\ P + R < 35 \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

I'm sorry my internet went down for a few minutes
