Company 1 = 9.95+0.10x = y
Company 2 = 12.95+0.08x = y
Not sure of the second question
Two phone companies offer discount rates to students.
The first company wants $9.95 per month plus $.10 per minute for long distance calls.
The second company wants $12.95 per month plus $.08 per minute for long distance calls.
Write a linear equation describing the total cost, y, for x minutes of long distance calls from Company 1.
Write a linear equation describing the total cost, y, for x minutes of long distance calls from Company 2.
How many minutes of long-distance calls would it take for the cost of long-distance for both offers to be the same?
Which method did you use to solve this problem?

You make both equations equal for themselves, then solve for x.
i.e
9.95+0.10x=12.95+0.08x
i.e
9.95+0.10x=12.95+0.08x
