1.80x + 3 = 12

isolate the x

1.80x + 3 (-3) = 12 (-3)

1.80x = 9

1.80x/1.80 = 9/1.80

x = 9/1.80

x = 5

you can travel up to 5 miles

hope this helps

m= # of miles

$12 < $3 + $1.80m
subtract 3 from both sides
9 < 1.80m
divide both sides by 1.80
5 < m

ANSWER: They can travel 5 miles on $12.

Hope this helps! :)
