Let \"+t+\" = talking time in minutes
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.07t+\" = cost for talking \"+t+\" minutes
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+C+\" = cost of the plan for July
\n" ); document.write( "\"+C+=+4.95+%2B+.07t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Solving,
\n" ); document.write( "\"+C+=+29.45+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+29.45+=+4.95+%2B+.07t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.07t+=+29.45+-+4.95+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.07t+=+24.5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+t+=+350+\"
\n" ); document.write( "350 minutes were used
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
