Respuesta :

Answer:

For 100 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

Oh phone company

monthly plans plan a cost $13 plus an additional $.14 for each minute of calls

let the number of minutes be x, and the total be y

y= 13+0.14x--------------------1

Plan B cost $18 plus an additional of $.09 for each minute of calls

let the number of minutes be x, and the total be y

y= 18+0.09x--------------------2

Step two:

Equate 1 and 2 above

13+0.14x=18+0.09x

collect like terms

18-13= 0.14x-0.09x

5=0.05x

divide both sides by 0.05

x=5/0.05

x=100 minutes
