Answer:

Phone 1 will allow Ellie to talk the longest

Step-by-step explanation:

Phone 1:

     (0.10x) + 6 = y

(0.10x) + 6 - 6 = 22 - 6

     0.10/0.10x = 16/0.10

                    x = 160 minutes

Phone 2:

      (0.25x) + 5 = y

(0.25x) + 5 - 5  = 22 - 5

     0.25/0.25x = 17/0.25

                      x = 68 minutes
