The cost to take a taxi includes a flat rate, plus a charge for the number of miles the taxi travels.

Tori takes a taxi 12 miles and pays $23.00.
Evan takes the same taxi 18 miles and pays $32.00.
Which equation represents the cost to take a taxi for x miles?

Let the variable x be the number of miles. Then the problem can be modeled with the inequality 0.5x + 3 < 10,="" in="" which="">x is the number of miles. To solve, first subtract 3 from each side, then divide each side by 0.5. The solution is x < 14.="" carl="" can="" travel="" less="" than="" 14="" miles,="" but="" he="" lives="" 15="" miles="" away,="" so="" he="" will="" take="" a="" bus,="" not="" the="">
