Answer:
The plans will cost the same when the amount you have to pay for talking for "x" minutes on Plan A is the same has what you have to pay for talking for the same number of "x" minutes when using Plan B.
$$ Plan A = $$ Plan B
To find the charge on each plan we add the base rate to the per minute call rate for each.
Plan A = $27 + $0.11x
Plan B = $13 + $0.15x
Let's drop the $ sign for now and get rid of the decimal point by multiplying by 100.
2700 + 11x = 1300 + 15x
Subtracting 11x and 1300 from both sides:
4x = 1400
x = 350 min.
Using this result the plans both cost $65.50 for 350 min of talk time.

Answer:
5 should be subtracted from each term
Step-by-step explanation:
Cross multiply,
1 * (11 - x) = 2*(8-x)
11 -x = 2*8 - 2*x
11 - x = 16 - 2x
Subtract 11 from both sides,
-x = 16 - 2x - 11
-x = 5 - 2x
Add 2x to both sides
-x +2x = 5 - 2 + 2x
x = 5
