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. Please Help

Answer 4

You could say that Ameri-Mobile charges a $10 activation fee, and $15 a month.
You can also say that Cell-U-Later charges a $20 activation fee, and $10 a month.

Answer 5

So your equation for Ameri-Mobile will be:

y = 10 + 15x

And your equation for Cell-U-Later will be:

y = 20 + 10x

Where x = months.
