You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let \"+C+\" = the cost of membership to a health club
\n" ); document.write( "of your choice
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+n+\" = the number of months that you belong to a health club
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "(a)
\n" ); document.write( "Equation for club A:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+C+=+50+%2B+25n+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Equation for club B:
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+C+=+25+%2B+30n+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(b)
\n" ); document.write( "Set the costs equal to eachother
\n" ); document.write( "\"+50+%2B+25n+=+25+%2B+30n+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+30n+-+25n+=+50+-+25+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+5n+=+25+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+n+=+5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "In 5 months the cost to belong to the health clubs be the same
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(c)
\n" ); document.write( "Equation for club A:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+C+=+50+%2B+25n+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+C+=+50+%2B+25%2A5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+C+=+50+%2B+125+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+C+=+175+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Equation for club B:
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+C+=+25+%2B+30n+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+C+=+25+%2B+30%2A5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+C+=+25+%2B+150+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+C+=+175+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The total cost for both A and B is $175
\n" ); document.write( "in 5 months\r
