Kimora’s cell phone company charges her $35 a month for phone service plus $.05 for each text message sent. How many text messages does Kimora send in one month if her cell phone bill was $52? Write an equation and solve.

Given that Kimora’s cell phone company charges her $35 a month for phone service plus $.05 for each text message sent.

Kimora's cell phone bill for one month is $52.

We need to determine the number of text messages Kimora sent for one month.

Also, we need to write and equation and solve it.

The equation:

Let x denote the number of text messages Kimora sent for one month.

Thus, the equation is given by

Therefore, the equation for the number of text messages Kimora sent for one month is

Solving the equation:

We need to solve the equation

Subtracting both sides of the equation by 35, we get;

Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.05, we get;

Therefore, the number of messages sent is 340.

addition

step-by-step explanation:

a.) list the factors of 40.

1/2/4/5/8/10/20/40

b.) list the factors of 40 that represent the number of cans that could be on each shelf.

5

c.) how many different arrangements of cans are possible?

just one because if you put more on one shelf you will go way over 40 and the cabinet will probably break.

d.) what are the possible arrangements of the cans?

put 5 cans on each self to reach 40 cans in total.

e.) which arrangement uses all the shelves?

5 because you can put 5 cans on each shelf, and since there are 8 shelfs you are equally going to get 40 cans.
