Juan’s cell phone company charges $35 a month for phone service plus $0.50 for each text message. How many text messages does Juan send in a month if his bill was $52?
I cant do math
0.50t + 35 = 52
- 35 -35 (Subtract 35 from both sides using inverse operation)
_____________
0.50t = 17
____ ____ (Using inverse operation divide both sides by 0.50)
0.50 0.50
t=34
@shhh Your answer is wrong and it is 34.
52-35/0.50 = 17/0.50
= 34
