    Let M = the money spent on a moving truck.

    The constraints on this problem are that 25 ≤ M ≤ 75. No matter how long the truck is used, she spends $25. The most she can spend is $75. To find out how long she can use it, let's change the variable. Her spending is $25 plus $10 for each hour. Let each hour be H, and her spending becomes 25 + 10H. Now we put that into the equation for M

    25 ≤ 25 + 10H ≤ 75

    Since we want the maximum amount, we focus on the $75.

    25 + 10H ≤ 75

    10H ≤ 50 subtract 25 on both sides

    H ≤ 5

    We want the maximum to make this true, so H = 5 (as 5 ≤ 5 is true)

    Thus, our constraints are 25 ≤ M ≤ 75 and the most she can have the truck is for 5 hours.
