You can  put this solution on YOUR website! Media services charges $30.00 for a phone and $20.00/month for its economy plan. 
The equation c=20t+30 describes the total cost, c, of operating a Media services phone for t months.  
------------------------------- 
The total cost for 8 months of service is how much?  
C(8) = 20*8+30 = 190 
----------------------------------------- 
If a customer has only $80.00 available, how many months of service can she receive? 
Solve 20t + 30 = 80 
20t = 50 
t = 2.5 months.
