Answer:

4x ≤ 30

Explanation:

Omar gets 30 dollars off because $25 + $5 = 30. Let x = pairs of socks

We know each pair costs $4, so the cost would be 4x. Omar has to buy as many pairs as he can with only the coupon and gift card. Omar has to spend $30 (the full discount) or less than $30. Therefore, the inequality would be: 4x ≤ 30 or 4x is less than or equal to 30 ($30).
