Question

Casey wants to buy a gym membership. One gym has a $150 joining fee and costs $35 per month. Another gym has no joining fee and costs $60 per month. When would Casey pay the same amount to be a member of either gym? How much would he pay?

Answer 1

You would set them up equal to each other like this.
150+35x=60x
Then you would subtract 35x from both sides to get this.
150=25x
Last you would divide both sides by 25 to find x.
150/25=25x/25
6=x
So 6 months.
Then the easiest would be plug in the x value (6) in the 60x.
60(6)= 360
So $360 in 6 months.

Answer 2

x=6

Explanation:

150+35x=60x

-35x -35x

150= 25x
