Both plans require a monthly fee per phone line, and Plan B requires an additional one-time Line Activation Fee. If n is the number of months for which the total charges for 2 lines under Plan A are equal to the total charges for 2 lines under Plan B, what is n?

Official Explanation
For each of the plans, the total charges for n months under that plan is the sum of the two activation fees for that plan added to n times the sum of the two monthly fees for that plan.
Each plan's total charges: (sum of activation fees) + n(sum of monthly fees)
Plan A total charges: (0 + 0) + n(40 + 15) = 55n
Plan B total charges: (50 + 30) + n(35 + 10) = 80 + 45n
The two plans will have the same total charges when 55n = 80 + 45n.
55n = 80 + 45n equation to solve
10n = 80 subtract 45n from both sides
n = 8 divide both sides by 10
Therefore, for 8 months the total charges for 2 lines under Plan A is equal to the total charges for 2 lines under Plan B.
For each of the plans, the total charges for n months under that plan is the sum of the two activation fees for that plan added to n times the sum of the two monthly fees for that plan.
Each plan's total charges: (sum of activation fees) + n(sum of monthly fees)
Plan A total charges: (0 + 0) + n(40 + 15) = 55n
Plan B total charges: (50 + 30) + n(35 + 10) = 80 + 45n
The two plans will have the same total charges when 55n = 80 + 45n.
55n = 80 + 45n equation to solve
10n = 80 subtract 45n from both sides
n = 8 divide both sides by 10
Therefore, for 8 months the total charges for 2 lines under Plan A is equal to the total charges for 2 lines under Plan B.
