answer:
the equation would be
200 + ( 50 * x ) = total cost
x is variable for the number of months
but lets use the number 2 ( 2 months ) for example
200 + ( 50 * 2 ) =
using pemdas we solve what is in the parentheses first
50 * 2
= 100
then just add the following numbers since they are the only ones left over in the problem
100 + 200
= 300
now we know that in 2 months and if you chose this cell phone plan, you will have to spend 300 dollars even!
hope this helps you and if you ever need anymore help or just not understanding this topic then please feel free to ask me! :)
and just in cause you dont know what pemdas stands for,
parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division ( always start from left to right ), addition/subtraction ( and again always start from left to right )
