Question

mr o wants to take a taxi cab ride if the costs to ride is 7.00 with the cost per mile is 0.25 per mile and mr o can only spend up to 30.00 write linear inequality

Answer 1

The first step to write the inequality is to create an expression that represents the cost of each ride on the cab. This is done below:

`\text{ cost(x)}=0.25\cdot x+7`

Since the passenger can't spend more than 30, then the cost of the ride must be less or equal to that value. We have:

`\begin{gathered} \text{ cost(x)}\leq30 \\ 0.25\cdot x+7\leq30 \end{gathered}`

The inequality that represents this situation is: "0.25*x+7<=30"
