Answer:
34
Step-by-step explanation:
Jasmine cell phone company charges $35 a month for phone service
They also charge $0.50 for each text message
Her bill was $52
Therefore the number of text messages sent can be calculated as follows
Let x represent the number of messages sent
35 + 0.5x= 52
0.5x= 52-35
0.5x= 17
x= 17/0.5
= 34
Hence 34 text messages were sent
