Answer:

Month 5 the cost will be the same

Explanation:

Make to equations from the given information

Let y be the cost, and let x be the number of months

Club A: y = 25x + 100

Club B: y = 20x + 200

It wants to know when the cost will be the same, so set the 2 equations equal to each other and solve..

25x + 100 = 20x + 200

5x = 100 (subtract 20x and 100 from both sides)

x = 20 (divide both sides by 5)

So after 5 months the cost will be equal,
