3. Three ropes are holding up an object. Two ropes are exerting 4 pounds of force in opposite directions
with a 20 degree reference angle with the ground. The third rope is exerting a 4 pound force directly up.
What is weight of the object? (Round to the nearest hundredth place.)

y -5 = (-1/4)(x + 8)

step-by-step explanation:

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
