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
n travel if he has $15 to spend. a. $1.75 $0.25x ≤ $15; x ≤ 53 milesb. $1.75 $0.25x ≥ $15; x ≥ 53 milesc. $0.25 $1.75x ≤ $15; x ≤ 8 milesd. $0.25 $1.75x ≥ $15; x ≥ 8 miles
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
Acute. Step-by-step explanation: Using the Triangle Inequality Theorem you know that the sum of the lengths of two sides of a triangle are greater than the length of the third side.
