Acab charges $1.75 for the flat fee and $0.25 for each mile. write and solve an inequality to determine how many miles eddies can travel if he has $15 to spend

1.75 + 0.25x ≤ 15
where x is equal the number of miles.

The key to solving an inequality is just temporarily making the ≤ symbol a =. Then solve for x like any other algebraic equation. Once you find the value of x, you will have solved the inequality. Make sure to add back the ≤ when you are done. 

15 - 1.75 = 13.25
13.25/0.25 = x 
x = 53
add back the ≤
x ≤ 53
This means Eddies can travel up to 53 miles with his $15.
