Answer:


11x + 18 \leq 40

Explanation:

She can buy x illy flowers, and each illy flower costs $11.

She wants to buy a pair of red rose flowers for $18 and spend the rest on lly flowers. Each lily flower costs $11.

This means that the total amount she will spend is:


18 + 11x

Amanda has $40 to spend on flowers.

This means that her total spending can be at most $40, which means that:


11x + 18 \leq 40

This is the inequality that models this situation.
