Suppose you want to buy one pair of pants and several pairs of socks. The Pants cost $24.95 and the socks cost $5.95 per pair. How many pairs of socks can you buy if you have $50.00 to spend?

In order to solve this problem, you need to write an equation to model the situation and solve the equation
