Answer:

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of videos viewed using either plan A or plan B.

Let y represent the cost of viewing x videos using plan A.

Let z represent the cost of viewing x videos using plan B.

Plan A: $3 per video viewed, plus a flat rate of $8 per month. This means that the cost of viewing x videos would be

y = 3x + 8

Plan B: $5 per video viewed and no additional flat rate. This means that the cost of viewing x videos would be

z = 5x

The inequality to determine when the cost of viewing n videos using Plan A is less than the cost of viewing n videos using Plan B would be

3x + 8 < 5x

8 < 5x - 3x

8< 2x

4 < x

x > 4
