Question 1035887: One health club charges a monthly fee of $97 and an extra $8 for every visit. Another health club charges $115 per month and $6 for every visit. How many visits in a month would make the cost of each health club equal?
Suppose x is the number of visits per month. Fill in the blanks to write a linear equation, which will derive the solution for the problem. Then solve the equation for x to find the number of visits.

One health club charges a monthly fee of $97 and an extra $8 for every visit. Another health club charges $115 per month and $6 for every visit. How many visits in a month would make the cost of each health club equal?
-----
1st club:: C(x) = 97 + 8x
2nd club:: B(x) = 115 + 6x
---
Solve:
97+8x + 115+6x
2x = 18
x = 9 visits
