Lydia is deciding between two different movie streaming sites to subscribe to.

Plan A costs $11 per month plus $2 per movie watched. Plan B costs $29 per
month plus $0.50 per movie watched. Let A represent the monthly cost of
Plan A if Lydia watches x per month, and let B represent the monthly cost of
Plan B if Lydia watches x movies per month. Write an equation for each
situation, in terms of x, and determine the number of monthly movies
watched, x, that would make the two plans have an equal monthly cost.
A =

Explanation:

So Plan A starts at $11, while Plan B starts at $29. We can make a chart.

11+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2=35

29+0.5+0.5+0.5+0.5+0.5+0.5+0.5+0.5+0.5+0.5+0.5+0.5+0.5+0.5=35

So A=12, and B=14.

11+2A (since A is the number of movies she'll watch)

29+B/2 (since B is the number of movies she'll watch).

This is all I've got right now since I'm not that smart. Sorry!
