Problema Solution

Your Family receives basic cable television and one movie channel for $39 a month. Your neighbor recieves basic cable and two movie channels for $45.50. What is the monthly charge for basic cable?

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'c' represent the cost of basic cable and 'm' represent the cost of one movie channel


c+m = 39

c+2m=45.50

solving for 'c' and 'm' we have:

c=32.5

m=6.5


the cost of basic cable is $32.5, the cost of a movie channel is $6.5
