a taxi cab charges $1.50 for the flat fee and $0.50 for each mile. write an inequality to determine how many miles sharon can travel if she has $25 to spend.
$0.50 + $1.50x ≤ $25
$0.50 + $1.50x ≥ $25
$1.50 + $0.50x ≤ $25
$1.50 + $0.50x ≥ $25

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of miles.

We have been given that a taxi cab charges $1.50 for the flat fee and $0.50 for each mile.

The cost of riding x miles would be and the total cost of riding x miles would be .

Since Sharon has only $25 to spend on the taxi ride, so the cost of riding x miles on taxi must be less than or equal to 25.

We can represent this information in an inequality as:

Therefore, option C is the correct choice.

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
