Question

Jeannie got a new pair of eye glasses. She was able to pay $15 at the
time she received her glasses. She will pay $12 each month on the
balance. The original cost of the glasses was $87.
b. How many months will it take Jeannie to pay for her glasses?

Answer 1

Answer:

6 months

Step-by-step explanation:

12x = 87

12x ÷ 12 = x

87 - 15 = 72

72 ÷ 12 = 6

x = 6 months

CHECK:

12 x 6 = 72 + 15 = 87

87 = 87

Answer 2

Answer:

6 months

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation would be: 15 + 12m = 87
