Question

E-Z View cable company charges a flat rate of $40 per month for service and $4.95 for each pay per view movie. View the Best charges a flat rate of $25 per month and $5.95 for each pay per view. Using the given equations, how many pay per views will generate equal monthly bills from the two companies?

Answer 1

E-Z View: 40 + 4.95x
View the best: 25 + 5.95x

Equal monthly bills:

40 + 4.95x = 25 + 5.95x

5.95x - 4.95x = 40 - 25

x = 15

Answer: 15
