Lesson 7-5 Graphing Systems of Inequalities
To solve a system of inequalities, you need to find the ordered pairs that satisfy all the inequalities involved. One way to do this is to graph the inequalities on the same coordinate plane. The solution set is represented by the intersection, or overlap, of the graphs.

He has been offered another job as a library assistant for $6 per hour. Because of school, his parents allow him to work at most 15 hours per week. How many hours can Jamail mow grass and work in the library and still make at least $60 per week? G + L = 15 3G + 6L = 60
