Two cell phone companies have different rate plans.Runfast has monthly charges $25 plus $10 per gig of data.B A&D’s monthly charge is $18 plus 15 per gig of data. Your task is to determine under what circumstances each company has the better pricing. You will derive and solve a set of equations, graph those equations, and evaluate the meanings for these events. Don’t worry; I have a series of questions to guide you through the process. Good luck!

1. Determine the equation for the monthly charges for Runfast and B A&D.

Runfast= ______________________

BA&D=________________________

2. Use your mathematical skill to solve this system of equations using the substitution method. (Show your work here.)

3. Graph the results on the accompanying graph as a visual aid. Don’t forget to label which line is for which company.


4. Why don’t the lines start at the origin?_______________________________________________

5. What is special about each of the y-intercepts?________________________________________

6. Which company has the better deal for customers that don’t us much data? How do you know?__________________________________________________________________________________________
7. At what point are the plans the same amount? How do you know?____________________________
8. Which company has the better deal for customers that use a lot of data? How do you know?_______________________________________________

please help me

what, can you not answer any of the guiding questions?

I'll do #1

For x GB of data, the costs are

Runfast: 25+10x
BA&D: 18+15x

now crank it out

We can't just give you the answers. You are lucky Steve considered helping you with #1.

getting the answers is what this site is 4

No, this site is for help with questions that your are having a hard time solving. It's not for you to use to get your school work done, with out trying or doing anything yourself.

there are secret answers that will give you 100% guaranteed

just put DoggO as the answer for all of the questions, you'll see
i got a 100

Hey ya'll! Just as a warning absolutely do not use Steve's answer for the first question. It would be right if we were graphing linear equations but we aren't! It's also a dead giveaway that you tried to cheat! Your best bet is to watch the portfolio recording and substitute jane and tammi's numbers for Runfast and BA& D's numbers. It's really simple! Good Luck and Good working guys!
