Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

so after five months, the costs would equal each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

You'd have to write equations for the price per month for each club.

Let x equal the number of months of membership, and y equal the total cost. Club A's is y=25x+40 and Club B's is y=30x+15.

Because we know that the prices, y, would be equal, we can set the two equations equal to each other.

25x+40=30x+15.

We can now solve for x by isolating the variable.

25x+25=30x.

25=5x.

5=x

After five months, the total cost would be the same.
