    A music app charges $2 to download the app plus $1.29 per song downloaded. Write and solve a linear equation to find the total cost to download 30 songs.

    Let the number of songs be s. And the cost function be C(s). We have:
    C(s) = Price per song downloaded * s + app download charge
    C(s) = 1.29s + 2

    The problem asks for C(30):
    C(3) = 1.29(30) + 2
    C(3) = 38.7 +2
    C(3) = $40.7
