A cab charges $1.75 for the first mile and $0.25 for each additional mile. Write and solve an inequality to determine how many miles Eddie can travel if he has $15 to spend.

$1.75 + $0.25x ≤ $15; x ≤ 53 miles

$1.75 + $0.25x ≥ $15; x ≥ 53 miles

$0.25 + $1.75x ≤ $15; x ≤ 8 miles

$0.25 + $1.75x ≥ $15; x ≥ 8 miles

nurali · Answer

i think  $0.25 + $1.75x ≥ $15; x ≥ 8 miles

anonymous · Answer

are you sure bc I was told it wasnt

anonymous · Answer

shouldn't it be 0.25x because the 1.75 is only for the first mile
