Question 974623: One health club charges a monthly fee of $81 and an extra $5 for every visit. Another health club charges $86 per month and $4 for every visit. For how many visits will the monthly charge be the same?
Suppose x is the numeber of visits per month. Fill in the blanks to write a linear equation, which will derive the solution for the problem
Answer by algebrahouse.com(1659)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = number of visits per month
y = total monthly cost
y = 5x + 81 {one health club charges monthly fee of $81 and $5 for each visit}
y = 4x + 86 {another club charges monthly fee of $86 and $4 for each visit}
5x + 81 = 4x + 86 {find out when the charge will be the same}
x + 81 = 86 {subtracted 4x from each side}
x = 5 {subtracted 81 from each side}
For 5 visits, the monthly charge (y) will be the same.
