help meh?
A taxi cab charges $0.55 per mile in addition to a $1.75 flat rate fee. Susie has $10 to spend on a taxi cab ride. The taxi driver will not give anyone a ride unless they are going somewhere that is more than 2 miles away. Model Susie’s situation with a system of inequalities.

Answer :

x= # of miles
.55x+1.75 is greater than or equal to 10

So if she has to go more than 2 miles we will put 2 in for X

.55(2)+1.75 is greater than or equal to 10
.55×2= 1.10+1.75= 2.85
2.85 is greater than 10 is false so now we know she has to go more than 2 miles.

Let's guess and check. Now let's say 15 miles
.55×15= 8.25+1.75= 10
10=10 So she needs to drive at least 15 miles

x is greater than or equal to 15

Please don't solely rely on my answer I don't know if it's correct
