Ryan had some candy to give to his five children. He first took eight pieces for himself and then evenly divided the rest among his children. Each child received four pieces. With how many pieces did he
start?

28 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

5 kids x 4 pieces = 20 pieces

20 + dad's 8 pieces = 28 pieces of candy

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
