slowmobile charges a monthly fee of $26 plus 0.15 for each text message. how many text messages can you afford if you want to spend $50 this month?

You can send 160 test messages.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming this is for algebra so I'll exlain it algerbraicly.

First you have to set up the equation: 26+.15x=50  

x is the amount of text messages you can send

Now you try to get x alone. You start by subtacting 26 from both sides: .15x=24

Finally you divide both sides by .15 and you get x=160

true? is that what you're asking or do you mean something else?

there are many solutions.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

4x+6=4x^2+10x−4

step 2: subtract 4x^2+10x-4 from both sides.

4x+6−(4x^2+10x−4)=4x^2+10x−4−(4x^2+10x−4)

−4x^2−6x+10=0

step 3: factor left side of equation.

−2(2x+5)(x−1)=0

step 4: set factors equal to 0.

x=-5/2 or x=1
