A community gym charges a $50 fee membership and a $50 monthly fee. Workout gym charges a $170 membership fee and a $40 monthly fee. After how many months will the total amount of money paid to both gyms be the same? What will the amount be?

Respuesta :

Answer:

12 months

Step-by-step explanation:

community gym = 50 + 50x

workout gym = 170 + 40x

you need to find out how many months it will take for them to be equal, so:

50+50x = 170+40x

solve for x

10x = 120

x = 12

after 12 months, they will cost the same
