igreen · Answer

Monthly fee of $35

Spent a total of 700

So what do you think we can use as an equation?

anonymous · Answer

35x=700

igreen · Answer

Since you want to know how many months, we can use 'x' to represent months.

'35' represents the fee you have to pay per month, so we have:

35x

igreen · Answer

Yes, that's correct!

unanimoose · Answer

Wow, that was fast.

igreen · Answer

Now solve it..divide 35 to both sides.

anonymous · Answer

can u show me how to do that

unanimoose · Answer

$$\frac{35x}{35} = \frac{700}{35}$$

igreen · Answer

$35x = 700$

$\dfrac{35x}{35} = \dfrac{700}{35}$

The 35's on the left cancel out:

$\dfrac{\cancel{35}x}{\cancel{35}} = \dfrac{700}{35}$

Leaving us with:

$x = \dfrac{700}{35}$
