Step-by-step explanation:

The amount Jayden will spend on rental for d days and 425 miles will be ...

  54.35d + 0.09×425 ≤ 320 . . . . . the basic inequality

__

This can be simplified to ...

  54.35d +38.25 ≤ 320

or ...

  54.35d ≤ 281.75 . . . . . . . subtract 38.25

_____

Divide by the coefficient of d to find the solution:

  d ≤ 5.184
