You find the surface area of a cube by using A=6a^2
Answer:
The answer is that both plans are equal.
Step-by-step explanation:
you start by putting the plans into an equation then you set them equal to each other. you need to assign a variable for the number of months. we'll call it M. It would look like this:
plan A - 25 + 8M
plan B - 5 + 12M
25 + 8M = 5 + 12M
Then you solve which looks like this:
25 + 8M = 5 + 12M
-8M -8M
25 = 5 + 4M
-5 -5
20 = 4M
/4 /4
5 = M
Now we aren't done after finding out what M equals. We still need to know what each plan will cost. So, we substitute what M equals into the equation. if they both end up equaling the same thing then its equal. if you get two different numbers they aren't. it would look like this:
25 + 8(5) = 5 + 12(5)
25 + 40 = 5 + 60
65 = 65
They are equal. Both plans will cost 65 dollars.
