Answer 1

It will take 20 months for the cost to be same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Apartment A;

Security deposit = $1000

Each month cost = $1200

Let,

x be the number of months.

A(x) = 1000 + 1200x

Apartment B;

Security deposit = $1500

Each month cost = $1175

B(x) = 1500 + 1175x

The cost will be same when the functions are equal, therefore,

A(x) = B(x)

$1000+1200x=1500+1175x\\1200x-1175x=1500-1000\\25x=500$

Dividing both sides by 25

$\frac{25x}{25}=\frac{500}{25}\\x=20$

It will take 20 months for the cost to be same.
