A long-distance company charges a $5 per month line fee plus $0.25 per minute for long distance phone calls. Write and solve an equation to determine how many minutes someone spent on long distance calls if their bill is $26.

84 minutes       (1 hr and 24 mins)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's put it together:

26 = 5 + .25

Subtract the 5...

21 = .25

Divide...

were is the equation

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

−3

x=17

answer:

x=17
