please help quickly​

Answer 1

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given the information above :

A) Cost equation for Newton Telephone company :

y = 8x

Where x = number of minutes used

y = total cost for x minutes

Cost equation for Tryus telephone company :

y = connection fee + (fee per minute * number of minutes)

y = 42 + (2x)

Where x = number of minutes used

y = total cost for x minutes

Amount is in cent
