Answer:

  • y = 5x +50
  • y = 10x
  • 10 months

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the charge (y) by Bethany's company for x months is ...

  y = 5x +50

The equation for the charge (y) by Kami's company for x months is ...

  y = 10x

The charges are equal when ...

  y = y

  5x +50 = 10x . . . . use the expressions for y

  50 = 5x . . . . . . . . subtract 5x

  10 = x . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

The companies will charge the same for 10 months.
