Let s equal the number of shirts she can buy
140 > $28.50 + $20.75s
111.50 > 20.75s
5.37 > s
so we round down. she can buy 5 shirts, plus the one dress and she would spend less than $140
5.5 + 2.1x + 3.8x - 4.1
5.5-4.1 +x(2.1+3.8)
1.4 +x(5.9)
5.9x+1.4
these are equivalent if there is a plus sign between 1.4 5.9x
No, i would stay with my answer #1 and trust myself.
