After how many months will the total cost of each health club be the​ same? What will be the total cost for each​ club? In __ months the total cost of each health club will be the same.

Answer 1

We must find x for which

28 +20x = 20 + 22x

which means

2x = 8 so x = 4

Ths total cost for each club is

28 + (20)(4) = 108 = 20 + (22)(4)
