Question

Which equation would you use to solve the following word problem?

Sasha's mom decided to get her a cell phone for her birthday. Cell Plus has a plan that costs $24.95 per month plus an additional $0.06 per minute. Cell Best has a plan that costs $30.95 per month plus an additional $0.05 per minute. How many minutes can Sasha talk and have the same cost each month?
Answer
24.95 + 0.06m = 31.00
0.11m = 6.00
30.95 + 0.05m = 25.01
24.95 + 0.06m = 30.95 + 0.05m

Answer 1

these questions are eay try to at least think them out before asking.
start by laying out all the variables

costs 24.95 per month (constant value)
+ 0.06 per minute (variable value)

Cell best
costs $30.95 per month (constant)
0.05 per minute (variable value)

So we need to find a constant amount that can be shared (y) and a constant amount of minutes (x)

thus we can acquire the following equations
0.05x + 30.95 = y
0.06x + 24.95 = y

Now solve durp

Answer 2

so its the second one?

Answer 3

both equations have to be equal to eachother
