Sanchez · Answer 1

42 + 42 + 42 + 42 + 42 + 42 = 252. Not quite there yet, and keep in mind than you need to subtract 75$ from dry cleaning. 42 x 8 = 336 Now subtract the dry cleaning expense. 336 - 75 = 261 Adrian will have to work eight hours a day to earn one dollar more than 260$.

Bradley Carrillo · Answer 2

We can make such equation which represents our problem.

Assume that x is number of working hours.

42*x-75>260

42x-75>260 / + 75 add 75 both sids

42x>335 / : 42 divide both sides by 42

x>7,97

Adrian will stay at work at least 8 hours.
