X^2-22x-48=0
x^2-24x+2x-48=0
x(x-24)+2(x-24)
(x+2)(x-24)
Solve by grouping if you are able to find distinct factors that multiply to the last term and add to the middle term...this method is rather easy with easy to manage numbers. Complete the square if you cannot find distinct factors that multiply to the last term and add to the middle term. Completing the square helps when the equation is in the form of a parabola.

The system of equations is
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the number of minutes of calling time
y ----> the monthly cost of the calling plan
we know that
The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

where
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept
In this problem
Plan A

substitute
----> equation A
Plan B

substitute
----> equation B
therefore
The system of equations is
