Answer:
12 movies
Step-by-step explanation:
If you have to pay 1.99 per movie and that is our unknown, we can express that as 1.99x, where x is the number of movies (our independent variable). If you rent 0 movies, you still have to pay the company $45. So the equation for the number of movies you rent:
y = 1.99x + 45 where y is the total cost of your cable for that month. We know the cost for a certain month was 68.88 so our equation becomes
68.88 = 1.99x = 45 and
23.88 = 1.99x so
x = 12 movies
