Question

the cab charges $1.75 for the flst fee and $0.25 for each mile. write and solve an inequality to determine how many miles eddie can travel if he his $15 to spend

Answer 1

0.25m + 1.75= 15

Move +1.75 to the right side of the equal sign which becomes -1.75

0.25m=15-1.75

subtract 15 and 1.75 which is 13.25

0.25m=13.25

divide 0.25 by both sides. 0.25m divided by 0.25 is 1m and 13.25 divided by 0.25 is 53.

He can travel 53 miles

0.25m + 1.75= 15
