Steve works at a restaurant. he earns 8.50 per hour. Steve works at least 10 hours and no more than 30 hours per week. The cost of food steve buys while working is deducted from his earnings. Write an inequality that represents the possible amounts of money he can earn after buying food.
-------------------
e(x) = 8.50x - cost of food
----
e(10) = 8.50*10 - f = 85 - f
e(30) = 8.50*30 - f = 255 - f
========================
Inequality::
85-f < e(x) < 255-f
