Hey yoga studio has two participation plans. For the first plan, the cost is $8 per visit. For the second plan, $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

Let's write an equation to represent the cost of each plan.

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

For the second plan, the cost is $40 per month, plus $2 per visit. This can be represented as 40 + 2x dollars.

To find the number of visits per month that it would take for the two plans to be equal, we need to equate the costs and solve for x.

8x = 40 + 2x
