Answer by algebrahouse.com(1659) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
275 + 85x ≤ 800 {plane trip plus (amount per night x number of nights) less than or equal to $800
85x ≤ 525 {subtracted 275 from each side}
x ≤ 6.18 {divided each side by 85}

he can stay six nights or less without going over 800
