ABC Fitness Center charges $30 per month for a membership, then after x months it will charge 30x dollars

Super Sport Fitness Club charges $22 per month plus an $80 initiation fee for a membership, then after x months it will charge 80 + 22x dollars.

If the total amount paid to the two fitness clubs is the same, then:

30x = 80 + 22x

30x - 22x = 80

8x = 80

x = 80/8

x = 10

After 10 months the total amount paid to the two fitness clubs is the same
