Let \"+C+\" = the monthly cost of a plan
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+t+\" = the number of monthly minutes of calls
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+C+=+10+%2B+.16t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+C+=+27+%2B+.12t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Make the costs of the plans equal
\n" ); document.write( "\"+10+%2B+.16t+=+27+%2B+.12t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.04t+=+17+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+t+=+425+\"
\n" ); document.write( "For 425 min of calls the two plans will be equal
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+C+=+10+%2B+.16%2A425+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+C+=+10+%2B+68+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+C+=+78+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+C+=+27+%2B+.12%2A425+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+C+=+27+%2B+51+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+C+=+78+\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK
