Under his cell phone plan, Xavier pays a flat cost of $44 per month and $3 per gigabyte. He wants to keep his bill at $58.40 per month. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine xx, the number of gigabytes of data Xavier can use while staying within his budget.

4.8 gigabytes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of gigabytes of data = x

Xavier pays a flat cost of $44 per month and $3 per gigabyte. He wants to keep his bill at $58.40 per month.

The above expression above is represented by the equation:

$44 + $3 × x = $58.40

44 + 3x = 58.40

Solving for x

Subtract 44 from both sides

44 - 44 + 3x = 58.40 - 44

3x = 14.4

x = 14.4/3

x = 4.8 gigabytes
