I need this answered fast?

Customers of a phone company can choose between two service plans for long distance calls. The first plan has a $29 one-time activation fee and charges 29 cents a minute. The second plan has no activation fee and charges 14 cents a minute. After how many minutes of long distance calls will the costs of the two plans be equal?

You've got the question worded incorrectly, I think. Could it possibly be $29 activation and .14 a minute or no activation and .29 a minute? If so, the correct answer is 260 minutes.

The way you've worded it the first plan will always cost more than the 2nd.

I really don't belive that they can be equal because since one costs more per minute and it has a activation fee automatically makes it more money than the one without a activation fee and a lower cents per minute charge.

29>14
29>0
Which means that the second plan will never catch up to the first plan.

T=Time
.29T+29=Plan A
.14T=Plan B
Set the two plans equal to only leave the T variable.
.29T+29=.14T
.29T-.29T+29=.14T-.29T
29=-.15T
29/-.15=T
-193=T
This makes sense because the first plans minutes are more expensive and there is a activation fee in addition. So I think you screwed up the information.
