Question 1112897: set up an equation to solve problem-
Sean is deciding whether to select a satellite receiver or cable for his television programming. The satellite receiver costs $293.59 and the monthly charge is $57.53. With cable, there is no initial cost to purchase equipment, but the monthly charge for comparable channels is $74.80. After how many months will the total cost of the two systems be equal?

The equation you are asking for is THIS:
