    Step-by-step explanation:

    Nelson grows tomatoes and sells them at a nearby farmers roadside stand.

    Let x = number of tomatoes sold

    Let m = amount of money made for selling x tomatoes.

    He sells them for $2.50 each. This means that he sells x tomatoes for 2.5*x = $2.5x

    The farmer charges him $15 a day to use the stand. This means that he pays a constant amount of $15 each day.

    Amount of money that Nelson will make will be total amount made in selling x tomatoes minus the constant amount being paid for rent. It becomes

    m = 2.5x - 15 This is the general form. In the factored form, it will be

    m = 2.5 (x+6)
