Let:
x=number of minutes
y= monthly bill

Made up information:

AT&T charges $15 as a flat fee and 10cents per minute

y=15+0.10x

Verizon charges $18 flat fee and 5cents per minute

y=18+0.05x

Set both equation equal to each other:

15+0.10=18+.05x

x=60mins

Now we know that at 60mins, both the company's monthly bill will be the same

If x > 60, Verizon is cheaper


Plug in whatever value you want for x to find out.
