Veronica is choosing between two health clubs. Studio A has membership is $23.00 and a monthly fee $24.75. Studio B has a membership fee of $53 and a monthly fee $17.25. After how many months will the total cost for each health club be same?

14.02

Step-by-step explanation:

You'd have to write equations for the price per month for each club.

Let  x  equal the number of months of membership, and  y  equal the total cost.

Club A's is  y = 24x + 21.50 and Club B's is  y = 17.25 x + 41.00 Because we know that the prices,  y , would be equal, we can set the two equations equal to each other.

24x + 21.50 =17.25 x+ 41.00

subtract 21.50 both sides

. We can now solve for  x  by isolating the variable.

24x=17.25x+19.5

divide 17.25x

1.39x=19.5

divide 1.39 both sides

x=14.02

After five months, the total cost would be the same.

a.   we have two

lines:   y = 4-x   and  

y = 8-x^-1

given two simultaneous equations that are both to be

true, then the solution is the points where the lines cross. the intersection is

where the two equations are equal. therefore the solution that works for both

equations is when

4-x = 8-x^-1

this is where the two lines will cross and that is the

common point that satisfies both equations.

b.   4-x = 8-x^-1

  x           4-x       8-x^-1

-3           7        

8.33

-2           6         8.5

-1           5         9

  0           4        

-

  1           3        

7

  2           2        

7.5

  3           1         7.67

the table shows that none of the x values from -3 to 3 is

the solution because in no case does

4-x = 8-x^-1

to find the solution we need to rearrange the equation to

find for x:

4-x = 8-x^-1

multiply both sides with x:

4x-x^2 = 8x-1

x^2+4x-1=0

x= -4.236, 0.236

therefore there are two points that satisfies the

equation.

find y:  

x=-4.236

y = 4-x   = 4 – (-4.236)

= 8.236

y = 8-x^-1 =   .236)^-1

= 8.236

x=0.236

  y = 4-x   = 4 – (0.236) = 3.764

y = 8-x^-1 =   8-(0.236)^-1

= 3.764

thus the two lines cross at 2 points:

(-4.236, 8.236) & (0.236, 3.764)

c.   to solve

graphically the equation 4-x = 8-x^-1

we would graph both lines: y = 4-x   and   y

= 8-x^-1

the point on the graph where the lines cross is the

solution to the system of equations.

just graph the points on part b on a cartesian coordinate

system and extend the two lines.   the

solution is, as stated, the point where the two lines cross on the graph.
