After heavy winds damaged a house, workers placed a -m brace against its side at a 45 angle. Then, at the same spot on the ground, they placed a second, longer brace to make a 30 angle with the side of the house. Complete parts a through b below.

what i would say the best answer is a. 40.5

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
