Manuel wants to earn at least $44 trimming trees. He charges $6 per hour and pays $4 in equipment fees. What are the possible numbers of hours Manuel could trim trees? Use (t) for the number of hours. Write your answer as an inequality solved for (t).

Given:

Manuel wants to earn at least $44 trimming trees.

He charges $6 per hour and pays $4 in equipment fees.

To find:

The possible numbers of hours Manuel could trim trees.

Solution:

Let t be the numbers of hours Manuel could trim trees.

Earnings of Manuel in one hour = $6

Earnings of Manuel in t hour = $6t

He pays $4 in equipment fees. So, we will subtract this from the income.

Manuel wants to earn at least $44 trimming trees. It means, total earnings must be greater than or equal to 44.

Divide both sides by 6.

Therefore, the required number of hours must be greater than or equal to 8 hours.
