Question

slowmobile charges a monthly fee of $26 plus 0.15 for each text message. how many text messages can you afford if you want to spend $50 this month?

Answer 1

You can send 160 test messages.

Explanation:

I'm assuming this is for algebra so I'll exlain it algerbraicly.

First you have to set up the equation: 26+.15x=50

x is the amount of text messages you can send

Now you try to get x alone. You start by subtacting 26 from both sides: .15x=24

Finally you divide both sides by .15 and you get x=160
