Question 1023781: The chess club has 16 members and gains a new member every month. The film club has 4 club members and gains 4 new members every month. Wite and solve a system of equations to find when the number of members in both clubs will be equal. Answer by msalonga(4) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! For chess club:
y1 = 16 + 1*x where y1=total number of members after x months
For film club
y2 = 4 + 4*x where y2=total number of members after x months
y1 = y2 at
16 + x = 4 + 4x
3x = 12
x = 4
Therefore, after 4 months they the same number of members (equals 20 members, 16 + 1*4 or 4 + 4*4).
