Nova receives a bill for her cell phone each month. she pays a flat fee of $35 plus $0.05 per text message. this month, her bill without taxes was $51.50. which equation gives the number of text messages, t, she sent this month?

Total= $51.50
text fee= $0.05 per text
monthly flat fee= $35
t= # texts

51.50= 35 + 0.05t
subtract 35 from both sides

16.50= 0.05t
divide both sides by 0.05

330= t

CHECK:
51.50= 35 + 0.05(330)
51.50= 35 + 16.50
51.50= 51.50

ANSWER:
Equation: 51.50= 35 + 0.05t
t= 330 texts

Hope this helps! :)

Answer to your question: a. the fundamental theorem of algebra tells you that the equation will have two complex roots since the degree of the polynomial is 2. the roots are ​ x=1±i7√2 .number of roots=degree of polynomialhere, degree of polynomial is 2 so number of roots will be 2.hope it *_*
