    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the number of minutes of call for which both plans would cost the same.

    Plan A costs $9 plus an additional $0.12 for each minute of calls. This means that the total cost of using plan A for x minutes would be

    9 + 0.12x

    Plan B costs $15 plus an additional $0.07 for each minute of calls. This means that the total cost of using plan B for x minutes would be

    15 + 0.07x

    For both costs to be the same,

    9 + 0.12x = 15 + 0.07x

    0.12x - 0.07x = 15 - 9

    0.05x = 6

    x = 6/0.05 = 120 minutes

    The cost when the two plans will cost the same is

    15 + 0.07 * 120 = $23.4
