let the nuber of a months be +x
if a high-speed internet service Time Warner Cable offers free installation and costs $42.95+ a month we have
+y=42.95x
if Cincinnati Bell charges a $60 installation fee and it cost them $+24.50+ we have
+y=24.50x%2B60
to calculate a month after how many months will the cost be the same algebra make equations above equal
++42.95x=24.50x%2B60
++42.95x-24.50x=60
++18.45x=60
++x=60%2F18.45
++x=3.25203
++x=3.3


the cost be the same in ++3 months and ++9 days

x months;
42.95x=24.5x%2B60
%2842.95-24.5%29x=60
x=60%2F%2842.95-24.5%29
May need round UP for whole number of months
