Question

PLEASE HELP, MEDAL AND FAN!!!!
ONE QUESTION!

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

halo

Answer 3

Yea

Answer 4

ok so does the initial charge of 1.75 depend on how many miles he drives?

Answer 5

no

Answer 6

well after the first mile, no it doesnt, so that will not change after the first mile, so you would not multiply the 1.75 by the number of miles right? the number of miles is x

Answer 7

so that gets rid of the last two options

Answer 8

you would multiply x by .25?

Answer 9

correct

Answer 10

so that leaves the first two optioins

Answer 11

so 1.75+.25x=?

Answer 12

ok so what does that represent there, what you just wrote it represents the total cost right?

Answer 13

yes?!

Answer 14

yes it does

Answer 15

so if Eddie has only 15 dollars to spend then the total cost cannot be greater than 15 correct?

Answer 16

otherwise he would not have enough money

Answer 17

yes

Answer 18

oh so its an inequality not an equation

Answer 19

correct, so the total cost must be less than or equal to 15, so which inequality is it?

Answer 20

B?

Answer 21

what does the less than or equal to sign look like?

Answer 22

<
----

Answer 23

correct, so it must be what then?

Answer 24

cost < or = to 15

Answer 25

but x, or the numbers of miles he drives, cant be more than 53, the miles it takes to spend all of his money

Answer 26

so a

Answer 27

correct, and when you solve the inequality for x i assume you will get x <= 53

Answer 28

could you help with another one?

Answer 29

close this one and post another one and i or someone else will help you

Answer 30

ok!
