Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
If we consider the first half mile to be charged at $0.30 per tenth also, that half-mile costs $1.50 and the charges amount to a fixed fee of $2.00 and a variable fee of $0.30 per tenth mile.
After you subtract the $2 tip and the fixed $2 fee from the trip budget amount, you have $11.00 you can spend on mileage charges. At 0.30 per tenth mile, you can travel
... $11.00/$0.30 = 36 2/3 . . . . tenth-miles
The trip is measured in whole tenths, so you can ride ...
... 36 × 1/10 = 3.6 miles
_____
If you want to see this in the form of an equation, you can let x represent the miles you can travel. Then your budget amount gives rise to the inequality ...
... 3.50 + 0.30((x -.50)/0.10) + 2.00 ≤ 15.00
... 3.50 + 3x -1.50 +2.00 ≤15.00 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
... 3x ≤ 11.00 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 4
... x ≤ 11/3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
... x ≤ 3.6 . . . . . rounded down to the tenth
Srry but I can’t figure this one out
Answer:
points because it is the equation is slope-intercept form
