Write a word problem using the numbers 506 and 8. then solve

Billy is a fly enthusiast! He has a huge glass container filled with 506 flies! One day when Billy went to feed the flies, he accidentally left the screw opened for too long, and 8 flies escaped! How many flies are left in the tank?

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2
