Solving a system of equations, the two clubs will have equal membership at month 8.

A system of equations involves two or more equations solved simultaneously or concurrently.

Club 1 Club 2

Current membership 400 200

Monthly rate of increase 25 50

Let the number of months = x

Let the total number of memberships = y

Equations:

Club 1: y = 400 + 25x

Club 2: y = 200 + 50x

For the two clubs to have equal membership, the month will be computed by equating the two equations:

400 + 25x = 200 +50x

200 = 25x

8 = x

Thus, at month 8, the memberships at the two clubs will equate.
