Daniel is working two summer jobs, making $8 per hour babysitting and making $15 per hour lifeguarding. In a given week, he can work a maximum of 18 total hours and must earn no less than $200. If Daniel worked 3 hours babysitting, determine the minimum number of whole hours lifeguarding that he must work to meet his requirements. If there are no possible solutions, submit an empty answer.

If he makes $8 per hour while babysitting, then if he works 3 hours - then he’d get $24 for babysitting.
He still has to make $176.
He can work 18 hours, if he uses up 3 hours babysitting, he has 15 hours left.
15 hours times $15 = 225 (too much)
12 hours times $15 = $180 ( he saves three hours)
He has to do 12 hours of life guarding to meet his goal - he will have three spare hours.
Sorry if I’m wrong, I think I’m right tho
