Question

club A offers membership for a fee of $26 plus a monthly fee of $29. club B offers membership for a fee of $22 plus a monthly fee of $30. after how many months will the total cost of each health club be the same? what will be the total cost for each club?

Answer 1

Club A: $26 + $29x
Club B: $22 + $30x

When (for what x value) will the cost of Club A equal the cost of Club B?

26 + 29x = 22 + 30 x => 4 = x

The costs will be equal after 4 months.

The cost per club will be 22 + 30(4), or $142.
Note that 26 + 29(4) = $142 also.

Answer 2

it will be the same on month 4 and it will be $142
