A college student realized that he was spending too much money on music. For the remaining 5 months of the year his goal is to s
pend a mean of $60 a month towards music. How much can he spend in December, taking into consideration that in the other 4 months he spent $100, $35, $40, and $55, respectively? Round your answer to two decimal places, if necessary.
8x+12=p so you would take away 12 from p making the equation 8x=p-12 and then divide that by 8 so the equation is x= p-12/8 ( x equals p minus 12 over 8)
