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? =

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

12m

step-by-step explanation:

square root means have of a number so have of 3 is 1.5 then multiply it by 8 and you get your answer!
