Question

Grant pays 10 cents per minute plus $5 per month for telephone long distance write an algebraic expression for m minutes of long distance calls in one month

Answer 1

Grant, he pays 10 cents in every additional minute he used in long distance call
plus, he pays $5 per months.
Now, we need to make an algebraic expression that shows how much will Grant pay for his long distance call in a month.
=> First let’s assign a variable for minutes. Let m be the value of minutes
=> 10 cents per minute additional and 5 dollars per month
=> 10 cents (m) + 5 dollars, where m is equals to the number of minutes he will use in a month.
=> SO we will multiply 10 cents to the number of minutes he used in a month, then add the 5 dollars he pay every month.
