These are the given answers

directrix · Answer

$1.45 + .55*x ≤  35 where x is the number of miles

Solve for x.

anonymous · Answer

I don't know how ;.;

directrix · Answer

$1.45 + .55*x ≤  35

Subtract 1.45 from both sides of the inequality

A medal for you sir. Thank you.

directrix · Answer

.55*x ≤ 33.55
Divide both sides by .55
to solve for x.

You can enter "33.55/.55=" in the Google search box and crank out the result.
