I am not sure about the answer but all you have to think about is what is 100 divided by 3
Answer: 2 months, Total cost= $72
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x denote the number of months then
For Club A fee= 28+22x
For Club B fee= 16+28x
Equating both we get
28 + 22x= 16+28x
28-16= 28-22x
12= 6x
x= 2
So after 2 months the fee will be same i.e. 28+22(2)= $72
Factor 16 and see the - factor pairs and add them, see which add to -12
-1-16=-17 nope
-2-8=-10 nope
-4-4=-8
hmm
we will solve with math
xy=16
x+y=-12
minus x both sides
y=-12-x
sub for y in other equation
x(-12-x)=16
-12x-x^2=16
add 12x+x^2 both sides
0=x^2+12x+16
use quadratic formula
if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0
x=

0=x^2+12x+16
a=1
b=12
c=16
x=

or

aprox
x=-1.52786 or -10.4721
those are the numbers
the numbes are -1.52786 or -10.4721
I think 5X+1x. Sorry if it's wrong.
