Answer:

The linear inequalities representing the given situation is -

x≥0 , y≥0

13x + 9y ≥ 368

x + y ≤ 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Rolando work 'x' hours a week at starbucks and 'y' hours a week at the youth soccer league.

∵ No. of hours cannot be negative -

x≥0 ,  y≥0

Given that Rolando earns $13 an hour at starucks -

Total earning at starbucks per week = 13x

Also Rolando earns $9 an hour at the youth soccer league -

Total earning at the youth soccer league per week = 9y

Total earnings for Rolando per week = 13x+9y

Since his total earnings needs to be atleast $368 -

13x+9y ≥ 368

Total number of hours for which Rolando can work per week is -

x+y

Since he cannot work for more than 40 hours a week -

x+y ≤ 40.

∴ x≥0 , y≥0

  13x + 9y ≥ 368

  x + y ≤ 40
