Jim needs to rent a car. A rental company charges $21 per day to rent a car plus $0.80 per mile driven. How many miles can he drive in a day if he wants to spent AT MOST $82. Write an inequality. Show work Or explain how to solve it and then give a solution as an inequality.

Inequality: .80x +21 ≤ 82

76.25 miles in total

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

An inequality to represent this is .80x +21 ≤ 82

(.80 is the cost per mile and x is the number of miles driven. 21 is the fee that must be paid no matter what and the 82 is the total cost they can pay. We use the ≤ sign to say they can spend less than or equal to 82. The phrase "at most" means we can use the ≤ sign).

Now we solve...

.80x + 21 ≤ 82

Subtract 21 on both sides...

.80x ≤ 61

Now, divide by .80 on both sides...

x ≤ 76.25

He can drive up to 76.25 miles in total

Hope this helps :)

a; x = 0.5

step-by-step explanation:

-10x = -5

x = 0.5

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

the domain is the set { -2, 0, 2, 3}

discussion:

the domain is the set of x values in the ordered pairs (x,y). taking the x, or first component, of each ordered pair gives   -2, 0, 2, 3.

you,
