Jordan pays $20 per month for a streaming membership that allows them to only pay $3 for each movie they stream. The equation

Question

y = 3x + 20
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
26
movies that month.

Answer 1

To find out how many movies Jordan streamed in July, we can use the given equation:

\[ y = 3x + 20 \]

where:

• \( y \) is the total amount spent,
• \( x \) is the number of movies streamed.

We know that Jordan spent $98, so we can set \( y \) to 98:

\[ 98 = 3x + 20 \]

Now, let's solve for \( x \):

1. Subtract 20 from both sides:

\[ 98 - 20 = 3x \] \[ 78 = 3x \]

2. Now, divide both sides by 3:

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

So, Jordan streamed 26 movies that month. The information provided in your message is correct: Jordan streamed 26 movies in July.
