Answer 1

Explanation:

you have to divid 52 by 0.50 i think

Answer 2

Step by step:
The equation is: y = 0.50x + 35

Now you’re going to plug 52 in y as the total.

52 = 0.50x + 35
-35 = 0.50x -35

(Then subtract both sides by 35)


It will equals to: 17 = 0.50x


17 = 0.50x
———= ———-
0.50 = 0.50

Now divide both sides by 0.50)

ANSWER: 34 text messages!
