The question is incomplete:

Netlfix charges $30 a month plus $5 per movie. Hulu charges $26 a month plus $7 per movie. How many movies will you need to watch for the Netflix membership to pay off and cost you less?

Answer:

3 movies

Explanation:

From the information given, you can write an inequality that indicates that Netflix membership costs less than Hulu membership:

30+5x<26+7x

Now, you can solve for x:

30-26<7x-5x

4<2x

4/2<x

x>2

According to this, the answer is that you will need to watch 3 movies for the Netflix membership to pay off and cost you less.
