Question 812613: An increasing number of American households are choosing to obtain their television reception through a satellite dish rather than a cable. The-Out-Of-This-World Company markets satellite service for an initial fee of $300, which included the purchase of the dish and installation, and then charges $20 per month for programming. The All-Wired-Up Company in the same area requires an initial fee of $14 for installation and then charges $31 per month thereafter.
a) Write an equation for Out-Of-This-World charges ( I did and got y=$20*x+$300 that right?)
b) Write an equation for All-Wired-Up charges (I did and got y=$31*x+$14 that right?)
c) How many months will they have to go for the charges to be the same.
