Community Gym charges a $40 membership fee and a $65 monthly fee. Workout Gym charges a $170 membership fee and a $55 monthly fee. After how many months will the total amount of money paid to both gyms be the same? What will the amount be?

13 months

Step-by-step explanation:

I made these into equations first.

40 (initial fee) + 65x (x is the number of months) = total cost

170 (initial fee) + 55x (x is the number of months) = total cost

There are two ways to go about this.

1. Put it into a graphing calculator (or a site like desmos) and see where the lines intersect (the easiest way)

2. If you don't have access to either of those, do the old guess and check by plugging in numbers of months until you get your desired answer.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

sum= when you add is how much the whole amount is

distance= when you use angles and it means how far it goes
