you have 20$ to spend on taxi fare. The ride costs 5$ plus 2.50$ a mile. Write an inequality to determine how mnay miles you can ride for 20$

Question

 I need to find the inequality in this problem.

Answer 1

Of course this is not the way a person plans a taxi ride. (You don't just get in and say "drive $20 worth.")

 

5 + 2.5x ≤  20 is the desired equation for cost of ride of x miles not to exceed $20.
