Answer 1

Answer:

Thus to rent 10 number of videos to get the cost same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Michael's Video charges member $4 to rent each video. If you get a store membership it costs $20 and members only pay $2 to rent a video.

Now, to find the number of videos to get the cost same.

Let the number of videos to get the cost same be $x.$

Charges to rent each video without membership = $4.

Cost of membership = $20.

Charges to rent each video with membership = $2.

Now, to get the number of videos to get the cost same we write and solve an equation:

$4x=2x+20$

Subtracting both sides by $2x$ we get:

$2x=20$

Dividing both sides by 2 we get:

$x=10.$

Therefore, to rent 10 number of videos to get the cost same.
