The answer to your question is 2
Answer:
10 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of minutes = x
It costs Guido $0.20 per minute to forward voicemail messages as texts to his cell phone. He already spent $4 in forwarding messages this month.
For Guido
$4 + 0.20x
His mom has spent $2 forwarding messages. It costs her $0.40 per minute so she can call long distance.
For his mum
$2 + 0.40x
Guido's mom said they have to spend the same amount.
Equating both Equations together
$4 + 0.20x = $2 + 0.40x
$4 - $2 = 0.40x - 0.20x
2 = 0.20x
x = 2/0.20
x = 10 minutes
Guido can talk for 10 minutes
Since there is an x in both of them, they are similar terms so we can add or subtract them. 24 - 8 is just 16 so the answer is 16x. Sorry if I didn't explain this well. Tell me if you still need help....
