A.

Myra can make 18 or fewer copies

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost:

5 + 3n"59

3n"54

n"18

Goose · Answer 2

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of copies

5 + 3c where c is the number of copies

It must be less than or equal to 59 dollars

5 + 3c ≤ 59

Subtract 5 from each side

5-5 + 3c ≤ 59-5

3c ≤ 54

Divide each side by 3

3c/3 ≤ 54/3

c ≤ 18

She can make 18 copies or less
