Two competing internet companies have recently restructured their payment plans. Quick Net requires a $10 activation fee and charges $55 per month for their basic plan. Speedy Net requires no activation fee and charges $57 per month for their basic plan. When will the two plans be equal in cost?
55x + 10 = 57x....where x = number of months 10 = 57x - 55x 10 = 2x 10/2 = x 5 = x.....they will cost the same at 5 months...they will each cost $ 285 at 5 months
