Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Let x represent the 9number of hours spent by Kennedy lifeguarding and let y represent the number of hours spent by Kennedy walking dogs.

Given that Kennedy can work a maximum of 13 hours, hence:

x + y ≤ 13 (1)

Also, she makes $16 per hour lifeguarding and making $10 per hour walking dogs. She must earn no less than $150. Therefore:

16x + 10y ≥ 150 (2)

Lastly, she must work at least 8 hours lifeguarding.

x ≥ 8 (3)

Also, y > 0

The inequalities are plotted using geogebra online graphing calculator.
