Answer 1

Jared and Devin would have to take 10 classes for their cost to equal

Answer 2

10

Explanation:

We are given that

Devin paid for a membership of the fox lake gym=$30

Devin costs him per class=$2

Jared costs him =$5

We have to find that how many classes would it take for Devin's total cost to equal Jared total cost.

Let x be the number of classes that it would take for Devin's total cost equal to Jared total costs.

Devin's total cost=2x+30

Jared total cost=5x

According to question

`2x+30=5x`

`5x-2x=30`

`3x=30`

`x=(30)/(3)=10`

Hence, Devin's total cost equal to Jared total cost if they would take 10 classes.
