$$25 + 0.06x = 30 + 0.05x$$
where x is the number of minutes.

do you have to solve like terms?

anonymous · Answer

Answer: 50


.6x+25=.5x+30
-.5x -.5x
------------------------
.1x+25=30
-25 -25
------------------
.1x=5

x=50 

OR

$0.05 x 500 = $25 + $30 = $55

$0.06 x 500 = $30 + $25 = $55
