Identity the quantity or quantities you are being asked to find. 2.Translate the problem into mathematical language (express the problems as an equation). 3.Carry out the mathematical calculations (solve the equation). 4.Check the answer (using the original wording of the problem). 5.Answer the question asked.

7. 7 Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 2-7 FCI Network offers its customers choices of several long- distance calling plans. The Nationwide Plan requires customers to pay a $5 monthly fee and 8 cents per minute for any long-distance calls made. The Flat Rate Unlimited Plan has a $25 monthly fee for unlimited calling—in other words, there is no per-minute fee. How many minutes of long- distance calls would a customer need to use for the two plans to cost the same amount? Solving Equations Example:

8. 8 Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 2-8 Understand We are asked to find the number of minutes of long-distance calls that would results in both plans having the same total cost. To solve the problem we will write algebraic expressions for each plan and then set these expressions equal to each other. Translate Let n = number of minutes of long-distance calls. Then 0.08n = cost for n minutes at 8 cents per minute. Cost of Nationwide Plan = Cost of Flat Rate Unlimited Plan Solving Equations
