emily and jade have $20 left for a cab ride home from dave&busters. The cab fare is $3 per mkle plus a $2 fixed charge. What is the maximum number of miles they will be able to travel in the cab?

3x + 2 < or = 20
----- -2 -------- -2

3x < or = 18
÷3 ------- ÷3

x < or = 6

They can drive a maximum of 6 miles.

Hope this helps!
