Answer:

y = 9x cents

y = (36 + 3x) cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Newtown telephone company :

Fee per minute = 9c

Tyrus company :

Fee per minute = 3c

Connection fee = 36c

Cost equation :

y = total cost for each phone call:

x = minutes phone call last ;

Newton Company :

y = (fee per minute * minute phone call last)

y = 9 * x

y = 9x cents

Tyrus Company:

y = (connection fee + (fee per minute * minute phone call last))

y = (36 + (3 * x))

y = (36 + 3x) cents
