Answer:

7 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Antonio's plan: Monthly cost

3 (.75m + 10) + 2.50m – 15

Marcus's Plan: Monthly cost

2 (1.75m + 12.50) – .75m + 4

where, m = number of minutes used by setting their monthly cost equal

3 (.75m + 10) + 2.50m – 15 = 2 (1.75m + 12.50) – .75m + 4

2.25m + 30 + 2.50m - 15 = 3.5m + 25 - .75m + 4

4.75m + 15 = 2.75m + 29

4.75m - 2.75m = 29 - 15

2m = 14

Divide both sides by 2

m = 14 / 2

= 7

m = 7 minutes
