Ill give a medal to who ever helps me with this question (:
Ismael is comparing cell phone plans before upgrading his phone. Ameri-Mobile offers a low activation fee, but a high monthly payment. Cell-U-Later offers a lower monthly rate, but the activation fee is higher. Create a possible algebraic expression for both Ameri-Mobile and Cell-U-Later that shows the amount paid after an unknown amount of months have passed. Justify how you created those expressions and identify what each term and factor represents in terms of the cell phone plans.

You can just improvise :) just say that Ameri-Mobile charges $120 activation and $50 a month. While Cell U Later has a $200 activation but only charges $35 a month. Then say x is the number of months after you get the plan, the cost of Ameri-Mobile will be 120+50x but the cost of Cell-U-Later is 200+35x :)
