anonymous · Answer

well first off you need to subtract the 6.95 from your total

11d + 6.95 = 50.95

Thank you guys so much!

anonymous · Answer

11x=50.95-6.95

anonymous · Answer

No prob

anonymous · Answer

Then combine like terms.
11x=44

Solve for x by dividing 11 on both sides.
$$x=44\div11$$

anonymous · Answer

So x is the number of dvd's he purchased. :D

anonymous · Answer

You can use the equation y=mx+b
y=total money
x=11 dollars
m=number of videos
b= handling fee
therefore
50.95=m(11)+6.95
then solve for m
