Question

helpppppp plzzzzzzzzzz

Answer 1

20 is total cost for the day, .75 represents $ per mile, x represents the # of miles

Solve for x:
20 + .75x = 65
(subtract 20 from both sides)

.75x = 45
(divide .75 from both sides)

x = 60

The truck can be driven 60 miles maximum.

Answer 2

You are renting a moving truck for 1 day. They charge $0.75 per mile, and a daily fee of $20. The most you can spend is $65.

m = number of miles

0.75m + 20 ≤ 65

[they charge $0.75 per mile plus a daily fee of $20(because your renting for one day it's just $20) you can spend at most $65 or less]

To find the number of miles you can drive the truck, isolate "m" in the inequality.

0.75m + 20 ≤ 65  Subtract 20 on both sides

0.75m ≤ 45  Divide 0.75 on both sides

m ≤ 60

You can drive at most 60 miles or less
