Question

The cost to purchase a movie from Move Time is 3.00 per movie as well as a 10.00 membership fee. To purchase a movie from Movie City, the membership fee is 30.00 and every downloaded movie is 2.00. How many downloaded movies must be purchased for the monthly price to be the same. (Can someone turn this into an equation for me?)

Answer 1

20

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of movies bought/downloaded

3x + 10 = 2x +30

Subtract 2x and 10 from both sides

x = 20

Answer 2

3x + 10 = 2x + 30

Explanation:

Let the number of movies downloaded = x

Movie time:

3x + 10

Movie city:

2x +30

3x + 10 = 2x + 30

3x -2x = 30 - 10

x = 20
