Hey!

---------------------------------------

Solution:

77.50 = 0.15x + 10

77.50 - 10 + 0.15x + 10 - 10

67.50 = 0.15x

0.15x = 67.50

0.15x/0.15 = 67.50/0.015

x = 450

---------------------------------------

Check:

77.50 = 0.15(450) + 10

77.50 = 67.50 + 10

77.50 = 77.50

---------------------------------------

Answer:

450 text messages can be sent when the monthly charge is $77.50!
