let x = months
so we know that price of software package is $25
Now we need to find x the price of one month
we know that Angie and Kenny spent $187 total
Angie: 25 + 2x ( one software pack + 2(price of one month)
Kenny: 2x25+ 5x ( two software pack + 5( price of one month)
So Angie + Kenny = $ 187
25 + 2x + 50 + 5x = 187
combine like terms and solve for x. That will give you the cost of one month
75 + 7x = 187
7x = 187-75
7x= 112
x=16 (Answer)
