5 + 3x < 25

x < or equal to 6

Step-by-step explanation:

$5 is the entrance fee and $3 is the cost of each ride with x representing how many rides she can go on. The cost of them must be less than 25.

25 - 5 = 20

20/3 = 6.6 repeated so she can go on 6 rides or less without going over her budget.
