Answer 2

At 11 months, the costs for each club will be the same.

Equation: 44 + 30x = 99 + 25x

Explanation:

Form equations to solve for each health club:

Variable x = number of months

1st health club: 44 + 30x

2nd health club: 99 + 25x

Equal the equations to each other:

44 + 30x = 99 + 25x

30x = 55 + 25x

5x = 55

x = 11
