Answer 3

2.50 + (5 * 0.24)

Answer 4

Sorry.

We need a constant, coefficient and a variable.

The constant is the number that stays the same so this will be 2.50.

The variable is n. This represents the minutes (or whatever letter you like)

The coefficient is 0.24 because each minute costs me 24 cents

So we get this equation:

0.24n+2.50


Insert the 5 for the value of n

0.24(5)+2.50
1.2+2.50= 3.70

So it will cost you $3.70 to talk for five minutes

Hope I helped!
