total cost is parts and labor.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the total cost will not be more than 40 dollars.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this means it will be less than or equal to 40 dollars.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let L = the labor costs.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "your equation becomes 17.50 + L <= 40\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "subtract 17.50 from both sides of this equation to get L <= 40 - 17.50\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "solve for L to get L <= 22.50.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "when labor is less than or equal to 22.50, the total cost will be less than or equal to 17.50 + 22.50 which makes it less than or equal to 40.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
