A yoga studio has two participation plans. For the first plan, the cost is $8 per visit. For the second plan, the cost is $40 per month, and $2 per visit. Write an equation to show the number of visits per month that it would take for the two plans to be equal. Use x as your variable.

Answer 1

For the first plan, the cost is $8 per visit. Therefore, the cost for x visits in a month would be 8x dollars.

For the second plan, the cost is $40 per month plus $2 per visit. The total cost for x visits in a month would be 40 + 2x dollars.

To find the number of visits per month that it would take for the two plans to be equal, we can set up the following equation:

8x = 40 + 2x
