The initial payment per month being 30 and each movie being 2.50 means that if the total payment is 45 then you pay for 6 movies per month, 30x+6(2.5x)

Answer:

6 movies

Step-by-step explanation:

You pay each month for satellite TV = $30

and for every movie you purchase = $2.50

Let the number of the movies you purchase be x

The equation will be

30 + 2.50x = 45

2.50x = 45 - 30

2.50x = 15

x = $\frac{15}{2.5}$

x = 6

You purchased 6 movies during the month.
