Answer 1

Let’s make

t for amount of text sent

We know the total amount in January is 68 dollars

The monthly rate is 44 dollars

0.25 dollars per text.

Since t is for about of text sent, and theres 25 cents per text we can make

0.25t

We then add in the 44 since it’s a monthly rate.

Then make it equal to 68 since thats the total cost in the month of January

0.25t + 44 = 68
