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.

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   movies that month.

To find out how many movies Jordan streamed in July, we can set up the equation for the total amount spent based on the given information.

The total cost $ C $ can be represented by the equation:

\[ C = 20 + 3x \]

where $ 20 $ represents the monthly membership fee, $ 3 $ is the cost per movie streamed, and $ x $ is the number of movies streamed.

We know that Jordan spent $ 98 $ dollars in July, so we can set the equation equal to $ 98 $:

\[ 20 + 3x = 98 \]

Now, we will solve for $ x $.

Subtract $ 20 $ from both sides:

\[ 3x = 98 - 20 \] \[ 3x = 78 \]
Next, divide both sides by $ 3 $:

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

Jordan streamed 26 movies in the month of July.
