Answer:

look at the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation:

Trash a way : $25 + 0.25x

Garbage No More : $45 per month

so to make them equal we need to have enough trash in Trash A Way that it equals $45

25 + 0.25x =45

0.25x = 20

x = 80

So, you need to have 80 pounds of trash to make them equal
