Gym B: No joining fee and $35 monthly charge.

Enter the number of months it will take for the total cost for both gyms to be equal.

It will take

Answer 1

5 months

Explanation:

Equation A: 15+30x

Equation B: 35x

In 5 months Gym a will cost 15+30(5) or $175 and Gym B will also cost $175.
Basically all you have to do is apply reasonable numbers until you find out where the costs will meet up.
