To determine how many movies Jordan streamed in July when they spent $98, we can use the equation for the total amount spent. The total cost consists of the monthly fee plus the cost per movie multiplied by the number of movies streamed.
The correct equation representing the total spent can be written as:
\[ y = 20 + 3x \]
Where:
- \(y\) is the total amount spent,
- \(20\) is the monthly membership fee,
- \(3\) is the cost of each movie streamed,
- \(x\) is the number of movies streamed.
Given that Jordan spent $98, we set up the equation:
\[ 98 = 20 + 3x \]
Next, we can solve for \(x\):
-
Subtract 20 from both sides: \[ 98 - 20 = 3x \] \[ 78 = 3x \]
-
Divide both sides by 3: \[ x = \frac{78}{3} = 26 \]
So, Jordan streamed 26 movies that month. The answer is 26.
