Answer 1

To find the monthly cost for \(x\) text messages, you can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Monthly cost} = 6 + 0.32x
\]

where:
- \(6\) is the fixed monthly cost,
- \(0.32\) is the cost per text message,
- \(x\) is the number of text messages sent.

So, you can express the monthly cost in terms of \(x\) as:

\[
\text{Monthly cost} = 6 + 0.32x
\]

Now, you can insert specific values for \(x\) to find the total cost for different numbers of text messages. For instance, if you send 100 messages:

\[
\text{Monthly cost} = 6 + 0.32(100) = 6 + 32 = 38 \text{ dollars}
\]

If you have a specific value for \(x\) you'd like to use, please provide it! Otherwise, the cost formula is already established as \(6 + 0.32x\).
