Answer:

[tex]x \leq 0.25a-0.75[/tex]

Explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of miles

we know that

The total miles multiplied by $4 per mile plus the flat fee of $3 must be less than or equal to a

so

The inequality that represent this situation is

[tex]4x+3 \leq a[/tex]

Solve for x

Subtract 3 both sides

[tex]4x \leq a-3[/tex]

Divide by 4 both sides

[tex]x \leq 0.25a-0.75[/tex]
