Question

You are comparing two internet services. Company A has an installation fee of $60 and charges $42 a month for the service. Company B has an installation fee of $25 but charges $49 a month. What month would you pay the same total amount for each internet service?

Answer 1

x= one month of service

A= 42x+60

B = 49x+25

to know for how many months A=B

42x+60=49x+25

42x-49x=25-60

-7x=-35

7x=35

x=5

for 5 months the 2 prices are identical
