Answer:

Stephen's neighbors paid Stephen no more that $28.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Stephen spent $5 of his earnings on snack.

He spent $17 in a new book.

He is left with no more than $6 left.

To describe how much Stephen's neighbors paid him.

Solution:

Let Stephen's earnings in dollars be = x

Amount left after spending on snacks in dollars = x-5

Amount left after spending on a new book in dollars = x-5-17 = x-22

The amount remaining is no more than $6.

Thus, the inequality representing the situation can be given as:

x-22\leq6

Solving for x

Adding 22 both sides.

x-22+22\leq6+22

x\leq 28

Thus, Stephen's neighbors paid Stephen no more that $28.
