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

 $1.75 + $0.25x ≥ $15; x ≥ 53 miles
 $0.25 + $1.75x ≤ $15; x ≤ 8 miles
 $0.25 + $1.75x ≥ $15; x ≥ 8 miles

u just keep adding 25 cents to each mile there is

Since he is only spending $15 so the total cost of trip must be less than 15

marigirl · Answer

So far you have 0.25×miles +1.75 which all must be less than $15
