Answered by GPT 3.5
The equation that will determine x, the maximum number of bracelets Mr. Gonzales could buy, is:

22 + 3.50x ≤ 36
Answered by GPT 3.5
To determine the number of bracelets Mr. Gonzales could buy, we need to solve the equation:

22 + 3.50x ≤ 36

To do that, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. Subtract 22 from both sides:

22 - 22 + 3.50x ≤ 36 - 22

3.50x ≤ 14

Now, divide both sides of the equation by 3.50:

(3.50x)/3.50 ≤ 14/3.50

x ≤ 4

Therefore, Mr. Gonzales could buy a maximum of 4 bracelets.
