one video rental club charges $25 to become a member and $2.50 to rent each video.
\n" ); document.write( "Cost1(x) = 25 + 2.50x where \"x\" is the number of videos you rent.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Another charges no membership fee, but charges $3.25 to rent each video.
\n" ); document.write( "Cost2(x) = 3.25x where \"x\" is the number of videos you rent.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "How many videos must you rent to make the first club more econical?
\n" ); document.write( "Comment: \"More econical\" means Cost1 < Cost2
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "INEQUALITY:
\n" ); document.write( "25 + 2.50x < 3.25
\n" ); document.write( "25 < 0.75x
\n" ); document.write( "x > 33 1/3
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "So cost1 will be more economical than cost2 if you rent at least 34 videos.
