Question

A cab charges $1.45 for the flat fee and $0.55 for each mile. Write and solve an inequality to determine how many miles Ariel can travel if she has $35 to spend. $1.45 + $0.55x ≥ $35; x ≥ 61 miles $1.45 + $0.55x ≤ $35; x ≤ 61 miles $0.55 + $1.45x ≥ $35; x ≥ 23 miles $0.55 + $1.45x ≤ $35; x ≤ 23 miles

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question you first need to know what the inequality symbols mean!

≤ Less than or equal to

≥ Greater than or equal to

So if Ariel has $35 this mean the following:

$1.45 is the flat fee or y-intercept

$0.55 is the slope

This mean the following:

$1.45 + $ 0.55x ≤ $35

$0.55x ≤ $33.55

x≤61
