Answer:


5 + 7x \le 33

Explanation:

Given


Base\ Charge = 5


Additional = 7 per mile


Total = 33

Required

Determine the inequality

First, we need to determine the total cost for x miles.


Cost = Base\ Charge + Additional * x


Cost = 5 + 7 * x


Cost = 5 + 7x

The total cost can not exceed the amount he has, so the inequality is:


Cost \le Total


5 + 7x \le 33
