Question
I'm not sure how i'm supposed to set up the equation to solve this.
A phone company offers a plan for long distance service charges of .08 per minute. Another phone company offers a plan for $6 per month plus .02 per minute. For what number of minutes per month are the costs of the two plans the same?

just set up two expressions for the costs, and set them equal. For m minutes, you want
.08m = 6.00 + .02m
Now just find m which makes the two values equal.
.08m = 6.00 + .02m
Now just find m which makes the two values equal.
