Transcript text: A student earns $10 per hour for tutoring and $6 per hour as a teacher's aide. Let $x=$ the number of hours each week spent tutoring and $y=$ the number of hours each week spent as a teacher's aide. Complete parts (a) through (e).
1. To have enough time for studies, the student can work no more than 21 hours per week.
Solution
Solution Steps
Solution Approach
Define the variables \( x \) and \( y \) for the number of hours spent tutoring and working as a teacher's aide, respectively.
Set up the inequality \( x + y \leq 21 \) to represent the constraint on the total number of hours worked per week.
Use Python to check if a given pair of \( x \) and \( y \) values satisfy this inequality.
Step 1: Define Variables
Let \( x \) be the number of hours spent tutoring and \( y \) be the number of hours spent as a teacher's aide.
Step 2: Set Up the Inequality
The total number of hours worked per week must satisfy the constraint:
\[
x + y \leq 21
\]
Step 3: Substitute Values
Given \( x = 10 \) and \( y = 8 \), we can substitute these values into the inequality:
\[
10 + 8 = 18
\]
Step 4: Check the Inequality
Now, we check if the total hours worked (18) is less than or equal to 21:
\[
18 \leq 21
\]
This inequality holds true.
Final Answer
The student can work these hours and still have enough time for studies. Thus, the answer is:
\[
\boxed{x = 10, y = 8}
\]
