You can put this solution on YOUR website! One video rental club charges $25 to become a member and $2.50 to rent each video. Another charges no membership fee, but charges $3.25 to rent each video.
---------------
1st rental club cost: C(x) = 25 + 2.5x
2nd rental club cost: C(x) = 3.25x
-------------------------------------------
How many videos must you rent to make the first club more economical?
EQUATION: 25 + 2.5x < 3.25x
25 < 0.75x
x > 33.3333
You must rent at least 34 videos
