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)
