Answer: You can drive, at most, 2.95 miles per day.

x ≤ 2.95

Step-by-step explanation:

In a single day, you can spend at most $90

Then if C represents the cost of renting the car, then we will have the inequality:

C ≤ $90

Now let's find the equation for C.

We know that we have a fixed cost of $25 plus $22 per mile, then if you drive x miles, the total cost will be $25 plus x times $22, or:

C = $25 + x*$22.

We can now replace that in the inequality:

$25 + x*$22 ≤ $90

Now let's isolate the variable x

x*$22 ≤ $90 - $25

x*$22 ≤ $65

x ≤ $65/$22 = 2.95

x ≤ 2.95

You can drive at most, 2.95 miles per day.

To find other inequalities with the same solution we can start with the solution:

x ≤ 2.95

Now let's multiply both sides by a number (the units of the number can be dollars, in that way we can make a similar problem)

Let's multiply both sides by $10:

x*$10 ≤ 2.95*$10 = $29.5

x*$10 ≤ $29.5

Now let's add the same number in both sides, for example, $5.

x*$10 + $5 ≤ $29.5 + $5 = $34.5

x*$10 + $5 ≤ $34.5

We could write this problem as:

"To rent a cab in your city, you have an initial cost of $5, plus $10 for each mile driven. How many miles could you drive if at most you can spend $34.50?"

You could be more creative with the problem, but this is the way in which you can craft problems of this type when you already know the solution.

Answer and explain ILL MARK BRAINLIEST I DONT UNDERSTAND
Sati [7]

First let's reduce the feet to miles

there are 5280 feet in a mile therefore

26400 feet=5 miles

31680 feet=6 miles

Jet A(the first jet) descends 5 miles in 96 miles

Jet B(the second jet) descends 6 miles in 120 miles

We can compare these as fractions to see which is steeper. This can be viewed as slope and the origin (0,0) is the airport.

slope: 6/120=?=5/96

1/20=?=5/96

Now we know that 5/100 =1/20 so 5/96 must be bigger than 5/100 because you are dividing by a smaller number.

so 1/20<5/96

So Jet B is descending steeper than Jet A.

As for linear model, I don't exactly know what your teacher means but I think I actually used the linear model when I'm thinking of steepness as slope in the coordinate plane, I will include a picture.

In this extremely zoomed out graph, you can see the blue line is just slighly higher than the red line(slope as in explanation is way easier to tell) this could be seen as the linear model) :) Hope it helped!

A package of aa batteries costs 3.50 plus an additional 6% tax. What is the price after tax?
Fiesta28 [93]
6% tax means 6% of $3.50

Convert 6% to decimal (move decimal 2 spots to the left): 6% ⇒ .06

Multiply 3.50 with .06 = .21 <-- That's .21 cents of 3.50

That means you have to pay an extra 21 cents. Add that to the $3.50 you had to pay.

$3.50 + $0.21 = $3.71 <-- Price after tax
