I'm not sure what the 5 steps are, but here's what I do:
let = length of wire in ft
Let = cost of installation
given:
-----------
The length of wire can be a maximum of 50 ft to
keep the cost under $95
---------------------
I'm guessing some of the 5 steps are:
(1) assign variables to unknowns
(2) establish units for all data
(3) List given data
(4) Write equations with number of
equations = number of unknowns
(5) Solve equations
