Jordan pays $20 per month for a streaming membership that allows them to only pay $3 for each movie they stream. The equation
represents the total amount Jordan spends each month on streaming, where x represents the number of movies streamed. If Jordan spent $98 for the month of July on streaming, then Jordan streamed

To find out how many movies Jordan streamed, we can set up the equation based on the information given. The total amount spent on streaming can be represented as:

\[
\text{Total Cost} = \text{Membership Fee} + (\text{Cost per Movie} \times \text{Number of Movies})
\]

In this case, Jordan pays a membership fee of $20 and $3 for each movie streamed. Therefore, the equation is:

\[
98 = 20 + 3x
\]

where \( x \) is the number of movies streamed. To solve for \( x \), we first subtract the membership fee from both sides of the equation:

\[
98 - 20 = 3x
\]

\[
78 = 3x
\]

Next, we divide both sides by 3 to solve for \( x \):

\[
x = \frac{78}{3} = 26
\]

Thus, Jordan streamed **26** movies that month.
