You can put this solution on YOUR website! OneFit, fitness centre has 100 members
and grows by 20 members per month
Lest x be the number of months
growth after x years = 100 +20x
ByGym has 400 members loses 10 members per month.
members after x years 400-10x
For one fit to have the same number of members as ByGym we equate both
100+2x = 400-10x
12x=300
x= 25

You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
OneFit population = 100 + 20x
ByGym population = 400 - 10x
100 + 20x = 400 - 10x
10x + 20x = 400 - 100
30x = 300
x = 300/30 = 10.
ANSWER. After 10 months.

ByGym starts with 300 more members than OneFit.
Each month, the relative change in numbers of members is 30 -- OneFit gains 20 and ByGym loses 10.
The number of months it will take OneFit to make up the initial difference of 300 is 300/30 = 10.
