___________________

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to solve the equation: 60 + (42.95)x = 25 + (49.75)x.

Let’s solve it:

60 + (42.95)x = 25 + (49.75)x ⇔ 60 - 25 = (49.75)x - (42.95)x

⇔ 35 = (49.95 - 42.95)x ⇔ 35 = 7x ⇔ x = 5

Answer 2

Answer:

The month in which both have to pay the same total amount is:

                          5th month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the month be x where we have to pay the same total amount for the internet service.

i.e. the total amount for Company A in x months is:

                   60+42.95x

and the total amount for Company B in x months is:

                   25+49.95x

The total amount is same for both the companies i.e. we have the equation as follows:

          60+42.95x = 25+49.95x

On solving by combining the like terms we have:

$49.95x-42.95x=60-25\\\\7x=35\\\\x=\dfrac{35}{7}\\\\x=5$
