Stela rents a car for business trip. flat rate is $60 plus $0.50 per mile over 40 miles. company pays $270 for trip. how far can she drive without going over $270.

60 + 0.50(x - 40) < = 270

60 + 0.50x - 20 < = 270

40 + 0.50x < = 270

0.50x < = 270 - 40

0.50x < = 230

x < = 230/0.50

x < = 460 miles

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
