Question

Adrian must choose between two long distance plans. Plan a charges a monthly fee of $15, plus $0.07 per minute one every long-distance call. Plan b charges a monthly fee of $50 for unlimited long- distance calss ( that is, no cost per minute). How many minutes of long-distance calls would it take for the two plans to cost the same @CGGURUMANJUNATH

Answer 1

First we need to put plan A into an equation....

Answer 2

ok?

Answer 3

So how would you put it into an equation?

Answer 4

i don't really know, i been working on this question for an hour, i couldn't figured it out

Answer 5

Well I'll explain it as best as I can....

First we must put plan A into an equation so... it says that they pay $15 per month "plus" $0.07 per minute of calling soooo....the plus indicates that we are going to add....
\[15 + ? = ?\]

We also know of how much they pay per minute which is $0.07 but we dont know is the total minutes so we input this...\[15 + 0.07x \]

This is the equation for plan A...

Do you get it?

Answer 6

do we equal two equations together a=b

Answer 7

and then solve??

Answer 8

Yup! We will simplify the equation but the setup is this...\[15 + 0.07x = 50\] 50 is for plan A...
do you know how to simplify this equation?

Answer 9

i got 500 is that right?

Answer 10

Correct! So it would take 500 minutes of calling to get equal costs!

Answer 11

thank you so much for helping me! i really appreciate it! but i have one more last one! will you help me with it? :)

Answer 12

Sure!

Answer 13

the sum of two integers is 131. the larger integer is 8 more than twice the samller integer. find the two inegers

Answer 14

i did 2x+8=131 and then i subtracted both sides by 8 i got 123 divide by 2

Answer 15

i got 61.5 and then i subtracted 131-61.5 to find the other integer

Answer 16

did i do it right?

Answer 17

Yup! Your process is correct! I would have done that way as well xD

Answer 18

thank u so much :)

Answer 19
