Answer:
The equation is [tex]199+49+79m=880[/tex]
Kyle has had cable for 8 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let m denotes number of months cable services have been used.
Initial charge for the cable box = $199
Setup fee = $49
Monthly charges for cable services = $79
Also,
Total bill over a certain number of months, m = $880
Therefore,
[tex]199+49+79m=880[/tex]
Now solve the equation.
[tex]199+49+79m=880\\248+79m=880\\79m=632\\m=\frac{632}{79}\\ m=8[/tex]
That is Kyle has had cable for 8 months.
