Question

Help me please i don’t understand

Answer 1

2, 80

Explanation:

The situation can be represented by 40 + 20x = 40x.

You need to find the x value that makes this equation true (x will represent the number of months).

40 + 20x = 40x

40 + 20x - 20x = 40x - 20x

40 = 20x

x = 2

It will be in 2 months.

40 + 20 (2) = 80.

80 is the cost.

Answer 2

In 2 months, that cost is $80

Explanation:

Option 1: after 2 months they will have paid 40 for set-up and 20*2 for cost per month so 40 + 40 = 80

Option 2: after 2 months they will have paid 0 for set-up and 40*2 for cost per month so 0 + 80 = 80
