You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write the verbal sentence as an inequality. Then solve the ineqaulity

-----------
In the 1st job you earn 25*9 = $225 per week.
In the 2nd job you work "x" hours and earn "y" dollars per hour.
------------------
Your total earnings are 225 + xy dollars.
---------------
Comment:
"at least how many hours per week must you work at the second job?"
You are not told how many hours are worked, the pay rate, or the
earning goal, so you can't answer the last question.
