A cable TV company charges $24.95 per month for basic service and $6.95 per month for each premium channel. Ryans monthly bill is $45.80. How many premium channels does he receive

What would be the algebra expression?

4 answers

45.80 = 24.95 + 6.95 x

(45.80 - 24.95) / 6.95 = x

If Ryan's bill is a total of 45.80-24.95 =20.85 we need to find out how many premium channels he pays for extra every month. 20.85/6.95= 3 channels extra every month in addition to regular service.
