Greg wants to earn more than $65 trimming trees. He charges $8 per hour and pays $7 in equipment fees. What are the possible numbers of hours Greg could trim trees?
Use t for the number of hours.
Write your answer as an inequality solved for t.

Answer

To find the inequality, we set up the equation for Greg's earnings:
Earnings = 8t - 7.
We want this to be greater than $65:
8t - 7 > 65.
Solving for t:
8t > 65 + 7
8t > 72
t > 9.
Therefore, Greg needs to work more than 9 hours.
