Answer 2

"Angel has $29 to order shirts online. Each shirt costs $5, and there is an $8 shipping charge. How many shirts, x, can Angel buy"

This one would not work because of the fact that the shipping charge is being multiplied by the amount of shirts, which is not how a shipping charge would be calculated.
