A cell phone company offers two plans. Plan A has a monthly fee of $26.50 and charges $0.35/minute.
Plan B has a monthly fee of $42.50 and charges $0.15/minute.
How many minutes make Plan A and Plan B equal to each other?

80 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent Plan A as y = $26.50 + ($0.35/min)x, where x is the number of minutes consumed.  

Represent Plan A as y = $42.50 + ($0.15/min)x

We set these two equations equal to one another and solve for x, the number of minutes at which the costs of the two plans are momentarily equal:

y = $26.50 + ($0.35/min)x = y = $42.50 + ($0.15/min)x

Combining like terms, we get:             ($0.20/min)x = $16.00

                  $16.00

Then x = = 80 minutes

                 ($0.20/min)

step-by-step explanation:

y = | -2(-2) |     →     y = | 4 |     →     y = 4       ⇒   (-2, 4)

y = | -2(-1) |     →     y = | 2 |     →       y =   2       ⇒   (-1, 2)    

y = | -2(0) |     →     y = | 0 |     →       y = 0         ⇒   (0, 0)

y = | -2(1) |   c →     y = | -2 |     →     y =   2         ⇒   (1, 2)    

y = | -2(2) |     →     y = | - 4 |     →     y =   4         ⇒   (2, 4)
