Question 369404: Please help me solve this problem: A family wants to rent a boat which costs $500 for the first 2 hours and $50 for each additional half hour. They can spend $700 for the boat. What inequality represents how many hours they can rent the boat?
I tried solving for h as (500/2h)+(50/.5h)<=700. I know the answer is less than or equal to 4 hours, but can't figure out the equation to get me there. Thanks!

500 + {50[(h - 2) / (1/2)]} ≤ 700
