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.
Question 6 options:
1) $1.75 + $0.25x ≤ $15; x ≤ 53 miles
2) $1.75 + $0.25x ≥ $15; x ≥ 53 miles
3) $0.25 + $1.75x ≤ $15; x ≤ 8 miles
4) $0.25 + $1.75x ≥ $15; x ≥ 8 miles

anonymous · Answer

so we know right away its going to be 0.25x + 1.75

anonymous · Answer

if he has $15 to spend 1.75+0.25x = 15
15 - 1.75 = 13.25

anonymous · Answer

0.25x = 13.25
13.25/0.25 = 53

anonymous · Answer

X cannot be greater then 53

anonymous · Answer

if x was for example 54, wed get 1.75+54(0.25) = 15.25, and he only has $15 to spend
