Answer:
You first start by making your equation: 45 +.25x = 70 +.15x. then subtract .15x from both sides. it should look like 45 +.10x = 70. subtract 45 from both sides then you get .10x = 25. divide 10 to both sides and you get 250. so the two companies will be the same at 250 texts.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: x ≥ 7
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to square both sides of the equation. You can manipulate an equation or function any way imaginable as long as it is done equally and helps the problem become easier. If we square this, the radical will cancel and we will get two trinomials equal to each other.

We can see the two expressions are exactly equal to each other. All real numbers are solutions, besides a few. These few are when the radical is equal to a negative number. So lets set up an inequality stating that the radical must be greater than or equal to 0.

z=xm+n-p
We need to isolate x to one side I will do that on the left side so it looks cleaner, therefore I will first flip the equation.
xm+n-p=z
Now move the n and p to the right side
xm=z-n+p
x=(z-n+p)/m
