Respuesta :

Answer: 75 + 0.05x = phone plan cost

Step-by-step explanation:

Define the following:

x = number of minutes used

Since you pay $75 upfront at the beginning of each month we have 75 in the equation.

We are given that 5 cents are charged for every minute of use. That's in addition to the $75 paid already. Remember to put 5 cents as 0.05.

⇒ 75 + 0.05x = phone plan cost
