25 points! answer needed asap! you will be named brainiest!

you are trying to decide which of the two smartphones plans would be better. plan a charges a basic fee of $30 per month and 10 cents per text message. plan b charges a basic fee of $50 per month and 5 cents per text message.

how many text message would you need to send per month for plan b to be the better option? explain your decision.

i also need to see work. equations, everything that you would need to solve.

We need to send more than 400 messages for Plan B to be the better option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plan A

The cost is a flat fee of 30 plus 10 cents per message

Cost= 30 +.10m

Plan B

The cost is a flat fee of 50 plus 5 cents per message

Cost = 50 +.05m

We want cost of B to be less than cost A

30 +.10m > 50 +.05m

Subtract .05m from each side

30 +.10m- .05m > 50 +.05m-.05m

30 +.05m > 50

Subtract 30 from each side

30-30 +.05m > 50-30

.05m > 20

Divide each side by .05

.05/.05m > 20/.05

m > 400

We need to send more than 400 messages for Plan B to be the better option.

38.5

step-by-step explanation:

lets say, first number = r

second number = 3r+7

total = 49

(r)+(3r+7)= 49

4r+7 = 49

4r = 42

r = 42/4

r= 10.5

3r+7 = 3(10.5)+7 = 38.5

hope this
