Question

Your bank account starts with $1550 and every month $50 is automatically deducted for the cable bill. You want to know how long, x, it would take your account to drop below $0. How many months would it take for your account to drop BELOW $0?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

C(x) = 1550 - 50x

With C(x) the cash you have every month (x).

Now we solve:

1550 - 50x < 0

So it becomes:

50x > 1550

x > 31

The 32nd month you'll be broke.
