    When they send 25 texts each, their bills will be equal

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the number of text messages that makes their bill equal be x

    Jorge will have a bill of = 50 + x (1) = 50 + x

    Jillian will have a bill of = 72 + 0.12 (x) = 72 + 0.12x

    Since their bills will now be equal, we equate both

    50 + x = 72 + 0.12x

    72-50 = x-0.12x

    22 = 0.88x

    x = 22/0.88

    x = 25 texts
