Brian was billed for 171 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Monthly fee of phone = $8

Charges per minute = 6 cents = $0.06

Last month bill of phone = $18.26

Let,

x be the minutes billed.

Therefore,

Monthly fee + 0.06*minutes = Total bill

[tex]8+0.06x=18.26\\0.06x=18.26-8\\0.06x=10.26[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 0.06

[tex]\frac{0.06x}{0.06}=\frac{10.26}{0.06}\\x=171[/tex]

Brian was billed for 171 minutes.
