9514 1404 393

  equation: 10 +0.05m = 22

  solution: Bob used 240 minutes in July

Step-by-step explanation:

Bob's bill is the total of the fixed fee and the charges based on minutes. The latter is 0.05m, where m is the number of minutes. Hence, Bob's July bill is ...

 10 + 0.05m = 22 . . . . . total of charges for July is $22

__

The equation is solved by subtracting the constant and dividing by the coefficient of m.

  0.05m = 12 . . . . . subtract 10

  m = 12/0.05 = 240

Bob used 240 minutes in July.
