She will save $36 if she uses the coupon.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find out how much it costs for 6 months without the coupon. You can use the equation 42.50x + 79. Since you need to know the cost of 6 months, plug a 6 into where the variable 6 is to get 42.50 (6) + 79. 42.50 x 6 = 255. 255+79 = 334. So, it costs $334 for 6 months. Now, find the difference. Subtract 334 by 298. That equals 36. So she will save $36 if she uses the coupon.
