Answer:
[tex]L + W \leq 9[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Represent lifeguarding cars with L
Represent washing cars with W
[tex]Hours = 9\ hours[/tex] --- at most
Required
Express the scenario as an inequality
First, we need to determine the number of hours Lauren can work.
This is calculated as follows:
[tex]Total\ Hours = L + W[/tex]
From the question, we understand that the total hours cannot exceed 9 hours.
This can be expressed as [tex]\leq 9[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]Total\ Hours \leq 9[/tex]
Substitute L + W for Total Hours
[tex]L + W \leq 9[/tex]
