the orignal population of a town decreased when 4,314 people moved out. there are now 45,229 residents. what was the priginal population?

are you sure this is middle schools math? ?

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

it is a horizontal line.
