Can someone help me real quick the cable company charges a monthly fee of $45. Each movie rental is $1.99. you owe $68.88. How many movies did you rents?

12 movies

Step-by-step explanation:

If you do not rent any vidoes you will be charged $45 no matter what, so...

Movies + 45 = total charge

each movie is 1.99 and you owe (total charge) $68.88

equation:

1.99x + 45 = 68.88

          -45       -45    (subtract 45 from each side to keep equation balanced)

1.99x = 23.88  (now divide both sides by 1.99 to get x alone)

     x = 12

you rented 12 movies

-12 > a

step-by-step explanation:

-11 > 1 + a

subtract 1 from each side

-11 -1> 1 -1+ a

-12 > a
