Answer: m less-than-or-equal-to 17
Step-by-step explanation: First lets write an equation to solve for m, the amount of miles Henry can afford in the taxi.
The inequality 0.75m - 1.25 less than or equal to 14 represents this.
Solve for m.
0.75m - 1.25 + 1.25 = 14 - 1.25
0.75m = 12.75
We need to make m be equal to one mile not 0.75, so divide both sides by 0.75.
0.75m/0.75 = 12.75/0.75
m = 17
So m is less than or equal to 17
