Mike’s fitness center charges $30 per month for a membership. All Day fitness center charges $22 per month plus an $80 initiation fee for membership. After how many months will the total amount paid to the two memberships be the same?

10 months

Step-by-step explanation:

30x = 22x + 80

8x = 80

x = 10

In this example, I will use 2 and 5.

2(5), 2*5, 2 x 5, 2 times 5, and two multiplied by five are all correct. However, you will want to avoid 2 x 5, especially in algebra, when x is most commonly used to represent unknown numbers, as this can become confusing.
