you are trying to decide which cell phone plan to purchase. plan a chargeres $40 for a new phone and $20 a month for usage. plan b provides the phone for free, but has a fee of $30 a month for usage.
use the substitution method to determine when the two plans will cost the same.

In 4 months the two plans will cost the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let represent the number of months of usage of phone

Let represent the total amount charged by the plans.

Plan A:

Plan A charges $40 for a new phone and $20 for per month usage.

Fixed charge = $40

Per month usage charge = $20

Usage charges in dollars for months will be =

Thus total charges in dollars can be given as:

A)

Plan B.

Plan B provides the phone for free, but has a fee of $30 for per month usage.

Fixed charge = $0

Per month usage charge = $30

Usage charges in dollars for months will be =

Thus total charges in dollars can be given as:

B)

In order to determine the number of month in which the two plans will charge same we will equate the equations.

Substituting equation B in equation A.

Solving for

Subtracting both sides by

Dividing both sides by 10.

∴

Thus, in 4 months the plans will cost the same.

$655.61 which is option c

step-by-step explanation:

price of house =   $146,000

initial rate = 3.5%

mortgaged paid in this = 3.5 % of $146,000

                                        =

                                        =$5110

the total years would be = 7

total mortgaged paid = 7 * $5110

                                      =$35770

remaining money = $146000-35770

                                =$110230

new mortgaged payment = 5 % of 110230

                                            =  

                                            =$655.61
