Question

anonymous · Answer

10+m(75)=x
50+m(25)=x

anonymous · Answer

so i would just have to make an equation?

anonymous · Answer

Those are your equations. It's a simple question you're just forming an equaiton. the first numbers are your activation fee, which is independent. Your dependent variable has to do with the monthly plan. m=number of months and the number attached to it would be your monthly plan fee. find x by plugging in a number of months. This is just a hypothetical equation.

anonymous · Answer

m is the number of months. Like if youve been paying for  months youd plug in 4
