Answer:

Part 1) The maximum number of pounds of regular coffee that you can buy is 7.5 pounds.

[tex]x\leq 7.5\ pounds[/tex]

Part 2) [tex]m+n=(0.76x-0.28)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

Let

x-----> the number of pounds of regular coffee

we know that

The inequality that represent the situation is

[tex]2x\leq 15[/tex]

Solve for x

Divide by 2 both sides

[tex]x\leq 15/2[/tex]

[tex]x\leq 7.5\ pounds[/tex]

The maximum number of pounds of regular coffee that you can buy is 7.5 pounds.

The solution of the inequality is the interval ------> (-∞,7.5]

but the number of pounds cannot be a negative number

therefore

The solution is the interval -----> [0,7.5]

see the attached figure

Part 2) we have

[tex]m=0.56x-0.25[/tex]

[tex]m=0.20x-0.03[/tex]

Adds m and n

[tex]m+n=(0.56x-0.25)+(0.20x-0.03)[/tex]

Group terms that contain the same variable

[tex]m+n=(0.56x+0.20x)+(-0.25-0.03)[/tex]

Combine like terms

[tex]m+n=(0.76x-0.28)[/tex]
