Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of rides Beth rides and y represent the number of exhibits she views.

Each ride costs $7 to ride and each exhibit costs $3 to view.

This means that x rides will cist x * 7 = $7x

Also, if she views y exhibits, the cost will be y * 3 = $3y.

Total cost of x rides and y views will be 7x + 3y

if she has at most $98 to spend at the fair, it means that all she can spend must be lesser than or equal to $98

The required expression will be

7x + 3y
