The correct combination that Nalia can afford with her $12 budget is 4 games and 1 ride.
To calculate the total cost for this combination, we can substitute x = 4 and y = 1 into the expression 2x + 3y:
Total cost = 2(4) + 3(1) = 8 + 3 = $11
Since this total cost is less than or equal to Nalia's budget of $12, she can afford this combination.
The state fair is coming to town! Nalia has saved up $12 to spend on games and rides. Games cost $2 each and rides $3 each, Nalia uses the expression 2x + 3y to determine the total cost for x games and y rides.

1 game, 4rides
