FAN AND MEDAL!!!!!!!
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 gotta make up the whole problem?

anonymous · Answer

pick two activation fees
anything
just with one higher than the other

anonymous · Answer

how about 23 46

anonymous · Answer

ok one in $23 and the other $46
now pick two monthly rates
i higher one for the $23 activation fee and a lower one for the $46 plan

anonymous · Answer

how about 38 for 23 and 19 for 46

anonymous · Answer

hmm nice annoying numbers 
ok that is realistic i guess
so the cheaper start up with higher monthly fee is 
Amera mobile  and the equation for your cost would be 
$$C=23+38x$$ where $x$ is the number of months you use the plan

anonymous · Answer

similarly the other one could have a cost of 
$$C=46+19x$$

hey this wasn't that bad was it? 
kind of a math teacherish question, but not unknowable
