Answer 3

@mebs could you help

Answer 4

She has a flat rate of $106 that means she always pays that amount.
For every text she sends she gets charged 12 cents.

She spends at least 142 dollars

make an equation

let x = number of texts

106 + 0.12x > or equal to 142

solve the inequality.

\[0.12x \ge 142 - 106\]
