are u getting a new phone... or is this homework...?   ;D
jks, sry

anytime plan = 39.99 / month
basic plan = 22.99/month + 0.08x

for what value of x will anytime plan = basic plan?
get that value, add 300, as "on all calls AFTER the first 300 minutes"

there's your final answer
so set the equation up something like:

anytime plan = basic plan 
39.99 =            22.99 + 0.08x
u rite to solve from here @taisadenice ?
