The start-up cost to join eTunes music is $7.95 plus $0.95 per song downloaded. If Will spent $26, write and solve a linear equation to find how many songs he downloaded .

Sagot :

Y = 0.95x + 7.95
26 = 0.95x + 7.95
Solve for x
26-7.95 =0.95x
18.05/0.95 = x
X = 19 songs

Answer:

19 songs

Step-by-step explanation:

First figure out the equation: eTunes = 7.95 + 0.95x

Then, we know that he spent $26 dollars. Plug that in for eTunes:

26=7.95 + 0.95x

Do the subtraction property of equality and subtract 7.95 to both sides:

26- 7.95 = 7.95-7.95 +0.95

After doing the subtraction property of equality, divide 0.95 to both sides with your new "y".

18.05/0.95x= 0.95x/0.95x

After dividing, you shall find the answer to be 19.

He downloaded 19 songs on eTunes.
