At one gym there is a $12 start-up fee, and after that each month, m, at the gym costs $20. At another gym, each month at the gym costs $22. After how many months will the cost of both gyms be the same?

after 6 months

Step-by-step explanation:

12 + 20(6) = 132

22(6) = 132

they are equal

Step-by-step explanation:   it will take 6 months for both gyms to cost the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent the number of months that it will take for the cost of both gyms be the same.

At one gym, there is a $12 start-up fee, and after that each month, m, at the gym costs $20. This means that the total cost for m months is

12 + 20m

At another gym, each month at the gym costs $22. This means that the total cost for m months is 22m

For both costs to be the same, the number of months would be

12 + 20m = 22m

22m - 20m = 12

2m = 12

m = 12/2 = 6

location: point 0

step-by-step explanation:

well, -8 to 10 on a number line is 18 spaces.

1/9 of 18 is 2.

so, 4/9 of 18 must be 8.

8 spaces from -8 (a) is 0.

so, 4/9 of the way from -8 to 10 is 0!
