Given:
X: The blue marbles.
3X: The red marbles.
A box contains 144 marbles.
SOLVING:
X + 3X = 144
4X = 144
X = \frac{144}{4}
X = 36 ===> The blue marbles.

If there are 3 times as many red marbles as there are blue marbles:
3(36) = 108 ===> The red marbles. SOLUTION

TESTING:
36+108=144
\boxed{144}=\boxed{144}\quad\checkmark\ The\ value\ is\ correct.
GOOD LUCK...!!!

A cab charges $1.75 for the flat fee and $0.25 for each mile. write and solve an inequality to determine how many miles eddie ca
ad-work [718]
The answer is <span>a. $1.75 + $0.25x ≤ $15; x ≤ 53 miles
</span>
x - the number of miles
C - the cab charge

<span>A cab charges $1.75 for the flat fee and $0.25 for each mile:  C = 1.75 + 0.25x.
</span><span>Eddie has $15 to spend. So, he cannot spend more than 15 on the cab and the maximum amount he can spend is 15. Therefore:
</span>1.75 + 0.25x ≤ 15

Now, let's solve it:
0.25x ≤ 15 - 1.75
0.25x ≤ 13.25
x ≤ 13.25 / 0.25
x ≤ 53
