Answer: it will take 5 months for both plans to cost the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of months before the cost of the two phones and monthly service fees would be the same.

cellular offers a new phone and unlimited service for a monthly fee of $50. This means that the total cost of using this plan for x months would be

50x

For both plans to cost the same, the number of months that it will take is

50 + 40x = 50x

50x - 40x = 50

10x = 50

x = 50/10 = 5
