(1) The first plan has daily cost = \"+.08x+%2B+.4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) The 2nd plan has daily cost = \"+.25x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(3) The costs will be the same when:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.08x+%2B+.4+=+.25x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.25x+-+.08x+=+.4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.17x+=+.4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+2.353+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.353%2A60+=+21+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The costs are the same when 2 minutes and 21 seconds
\n" ); document.write( "of phone calls are used in one day
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
