membership cost be the same?
efine the variable, write an equation, and solve

Answer 1

Answer:
4 months

Steps:
A = 40 per month + 60 fee
B = 55 + 0 fee

Let m represent the number of months.
40m + 60 = 55m

Subtract 40m from both sides.

40m + 60 = 55m
-40m -40m

60 = 15m

Divide both sides by 15.

60 = 15m
/15 /15
4 = m
