By direct calculation, we will see that Jessie can go to 7 rides in the county fair.
So we know that the cost of admission is $5.00 and each ride costs $2.00.
So if you go to the county fair and go to x rides, the cost is:
c(x) = $2.00*x + $5.00
And you have $19, then by solving:
c(x) = $19
We can find the number of rides at which Jessie can go.
$19 = $2.00*x + $5.00
$19 - $5 = $2*x
$14 = $2*x
$14/$2 = x = 7
Jessie can go to 7 rides.
