Part A:

90.10 = 0.30x + 55

Part B:

Subtract 55 from both sides

90.10 = 0.30x + 55
-55 -55
__________________
35.10 = 0.30x

Next, you need to isolate the variable so you must divide both sides by 0.30. You should get:

117 = x

Vin sent 117 text messages that month.

Part C: (this part is a bit unclear, though I will try to answer it as best I can)

I found the number of text messages Vin sent in the month of October by creating an equation that outlined his bill and solving it.
