Answer:

[tex]37\ albums[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----->  the number of albums Floyd sold last month

we know that

The number of albums Floyd sold last month multiplied by $12 for each album plus a base rate of $200 must be equal to the total earned.

Last month he earned a total of $644

so

The linear equation that represent this problem is

[tex]12x+200=644[/tex]

Solve for x

subtract 200 both sides

[tex]12x=644-200[/tex]

[tex]12x=444[/tex]

Divide by 12 both sides

[tex]x=37\ albums[/tex]
