Two competing cable companies have recently restructured their payment plans. clear tv requires a $30 activation fee and charges $75 per month for their basic plan. link tv requires no activation fee and charges $82.50 per month for their basic plan. when will the two plans be equal in cost? a. they will not ever be equal b. at 2 months c. at 5 months d. at 4 months

At the end of 4 months  the cost of both plans will be same.

Option (D) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the number of months be x.

As given

Two competing cable companies have recently restructured their payment plans.

Clear TV requires a $30 activation fee and charges $75 per month for their basic plan.

Equation becomes

Cost of Clear T V  = Activation fee + Monthly charge for x months

                              = 30 + 75x

Link TV requires no activation fee and charges $82.50 per month for their basic plan.

Cost of Link TV =  Monthly charge for x months

                          = 82.50x

Compare the cost of both TV .

Cost of Clear T V = Cost of Link TV

30 + 75x = 82.50x

30 =  82.50x - 75x

30 = 7.5X

x = 4

Therefore at the end of 4 months  the cost of both plans will be same.

Option (D) is correct.

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
