Answer:

85 = 5x + 20 is the inequality.

Explanation:

Why is it right? Because I said so.

Just kidding. Here:

The cost of the games, 5, is multiplied by x, which is the amount of games that Angel will buy. To solve:

Subtract 20 from both sides:

65 = 5x

Divide 65 by 5.

The answer of the question is: Angel can buy 13 games. (Angel! That's a waste of 65 bucks!)
