Answer 1

Answer:

After (3/2) months Tyler's gym would be a better deal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x the number of months

Cody's Gym charges a $15 fee to join and $30 per month

y₁= 15 + 30x (1)

Tyler's Gym charges a $30 fee to join and $20 per month

y₂ = 15 + 30x (2)

See the attached figure which represent the graph of y₁ (with blue color) and y₂ (with red color)

The point of intersection between y₁ and y₂ is ( 3/2 , 60)

After 3/2 months Tyler's Gym charges will be less than Cody's Gym charges

So, the inequality will be:

After (3/2) months Tyler's gym would be a better deal.
