Question

Tim's phone service charges $24.93 plus an additional $0.21 for each text message sent per month. If
Tim's phone bill was $30.18, which equation could be used to find how many text messages, x, Tim
sent last month?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

T = 24.93 + 0.21x      Substitute 30.18 for T

30.18 = 24.94 + 0.21x

-24.94  - 24.94              Subtract 24.94 from both sides

5.24 = 0.21x                   Divide both sides by 0.21

x = 24.95 ≈ 24 because you can't have a partial text message.
