    Lisa has $150 at most to spend on clothes. She wants to buy a pair of jeans for $58 and will spend the rest on t-shirts that cost $14 each.

    Let the number of t-shirts be t. Lisa can spend up to, but not more than 150. We have the following inequality:
    14t + 58 <= 150

    To solve this inequality, we type it in our search engine and we get:
    t <= 6.57

    To round to a whole number, we round down to t = 6
