Well, since you have two variables in one equation, you would have to have at least one other equation to solve this problem. Their isn't enough information to solve this alone, sorry :/

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: Company A would be a better deal for number of minutes over 200
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of minutes that you would use with either company A or company B.
Company A has a monthly charge of $10 plus 5¢ a minute for each minute of long distance calls. It means that the cost of x minutes of long distance call is
10 + 0.05x
Company B has a monthly charge of $8 plus 6¢ a minute for long distance calls. It means that the cost of x minutes of long distance call is 10 + 0.05x
8 + 0.06x
For Company A to be a better deal, it means that
10 + 0.05x < 8 + 0.06x
10 - 8 < 0.06x - 0.05x
2 < 0.01x
0.01x > 2
x > 2/0.01
x > 200
