40+3.50x5=57.50 so you purchased 5 movies for the total of 57.50 at the end of the month

Answer:

5 movies were purchased during the month.

Step-by-step explanation:

You pay $40 each month for satellite TV, plus $3.50 for every movie you purchase.

Let there be x movies purchased in a month.

The bill amount is = $57.50

The equation forms:

[tex]40+3.50x=57.50[/tex]

Solving for x;

[tex]3.50x=57.50-40[/tex]

=> [tex]3.50x=17.5[/tex]

So, x = 5

Hence, 5 movies were purchased during the month.
