You play basketball at your school's indoor stadium. You have two payment
options. Option A is to buy a membership
card for $20 and pay $2 each time you
go to the gym, t. Option B is to pay $4
each time you go. Write a a linear
equation to show how many trips to the
gym would the cost be the same?

20 + 2x = 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

So you are setting the two expressions equal to each other.

buying a membership card  and paying each time looks like this: 20 + 2x where x is the number of times you go to the gym.  20 dollars base then 2 each time you go.

4 each time you go is just 4x

so just set the two equal to each other.

20 + 2x = 4x

If you solve it you will get x = something, which would be the number of times to make the two equal.
