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.

Answer 1

The examples I came up with are as follows:
For Ameri-Mobile, the equation could be y = 10 + 60x where y is the total amount paid, 10 is the activation fee (low) and 60 is the monthly payment times x months.
For Cell-U-Later, the equation could be y = 40 + 30x where y is the total amount paid, 40 is the activation fee (higher than the other one) and 30 is the monthly payment times x months (lower than the other one). Do you need more than that for this?
