Question

Branlet will be marked so help out all my gemstones

Answer 1

Ok so if your phone bill was $164
And your starting fee for five lines is $56, you would start with $56

What I would do is take $164 - $56 to get $108, then proceed to divide that by 0.08 to get 1350, and that would be my x variable

And the equation would be $56 + 0.08x =$164

Meaning the Answer Would Be:
B. 56 + 0.08x = 164, x = 1350

Answer 2

B is the right answer.

Explanation:

56 + 0.08x = 164

0.08x = 164 - 56

0.08x = 108

0.08x/0.08 = 108/0.08

x = 1,350

To confirm that:

56 + 0.08x

56 + 0.08(1,350)

56 + 108

= 164

164 is the answer.
