Hi there!

Let the number of texts be represented by T.
The we get the following function of total cost:
Total cost = 30 + 0.05T.

Since Heather wants her bill to be under $60, the total cost must be smaller than 60. We get the following

30 + 0.05T < 60
Subtract 30 from both sides.

0.05T < 30
Divide by 0.05

T < 600. Therefore Heather can send a maximum of 600 texts (and then she pays a bill of $60)
