This is two straight line equations, and the
\n" ); document.write( "Intersection is the point where the costs of
\n" ); document.write( "A and B are the same
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+C+\" = cost and plot it on the vertical axis
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+p+\" = the number of pages plotted on horizontal axis
\n" ); document.write( "———————-
\n" ); document.write( "Company A:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+C+=+.6p+%2B+3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Company B:
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+C+=+.75p+\"
\n" ); document.write( "———————————
\n" ); document.write( "Make the costs the same:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.75p+=+.6p+%2B+3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.15p+=+3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+p+=+20+\"
\n" ); document.write( "A will cost less that B if there is 1 less page. Fractions
\n" ); document.write( "Of a page are probably not allowed, so 19 pages
\n" ); document.write( "Will make A cost less than B
