Mariann has a new television that is 31.5 inches from side to side. She is placing the television in the center of a wall that is 85 inches long. What will be the distance from each side of the television to each end of the wall?
А
26.75 inches
В
42.5 inches
С
53.5 inches
D
58.25 inches

I think it A 26.75

Step-by-step explanation:

А

26.75 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First - subtract 31.5 from 85 to get the space for the TV

85 - 31.5 = 53.5

Second - Take the answer from the first step and divide 53.5 by 2

53.5/2 = 26.75

To check:

26.75 + 26.75 + 31.5 = 85

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2
