how many steps do you need?

anonymous · Answer

It doesn't matter, they said to make it up but I don't know how

anonymous · Answer

you go to a bar to hear a band say an obscure emo band like "if arsenic fails, try algebra"
the cover charge is $8 and beers are $5
if you have $$48$ in your pocket, what is the most number of beers you can buy?

anonymous · Answer

if you put say $x$ as the number of beers you can buy, then you would solve 
$$5x+8\leq 48$$
