- Describe the steps needed to solve a quadratic inequality algebraically.arrow_forwardVeronica works two part time jobs in order to earn enough money to meet her obligations of at least $280 a week. Her job at the day spa pays $10 an hour and her administrative assistant job on campus pays $17.50 an hour. How many hours does Veronica need to work at each job to earn at least $280? (a) Let x be the number of hours she works at the day spa and let y be the number of hours she works as administrative assistant. Write an inequality that would model this situation. (b) Graph the inequality. (c) Find three ordered pairs (x, y) that would be solutions to the inequality. Then, explain what that means for Veronicaarrow_forwardElena needs to earn at least $450 a week during her summer break to pay for college. She works two jobs.
