Final answer:

To find the maximum number of days the van can be rented for no more than $625, we set up and solve the inequality 460d + 145 ≤ 625, where 'd' represents the number of days. The maximum number of days is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

To write and solve the inequality, let's assume the number of days the van is rented is represented by 'd'. The total cost of the rental is given by the equation: 460d + 145. To find the number of days the van can be rented for no more than $625, we can set up the inequality 460d + 145 ≤ 625. Now, let's solve for 'd':

  1. Subtract 145 from both sides: 460d ≤ 480
  2. Divide both sides by 460: d ≤ 4/46 or d ≤ 0.8696

Since the number of days must be a whole number, the van can be rented for a maximum of 0 days.

Answer:

Inequality is 460x+ 145
\leq 625 (I can't put the less than or equal to sign down sorry)
