The expression for the cost of the ABC Book Club is 2x + 40. The expression for the cost of the Easy Book Club is 3x + 35. To find when the total charge for both book clubs is equal, the two expressions must equal each other. (x = the number of books read)
2x + 40 = 3x + 35
Subtract 35 from both sides.
2x + 5 = 3x
Subtract 2x from both sides.
5 = x
So, the total charge for each club is equal when 5 books are read.

Answer:
x = -3
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
5(x + 4) = -2(-4 - x) + 3
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute: 5x + 20 = 8 + 2x + 3
- Combine like terms: 5x + 20 = 2x + 11
- Subtract 2x on both sides: 3x + 20 = 11
- Subtract 20 on both sides: 3x = -9
- Divide 3 on both sides: x = -3
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute: 5(-3 + 4) = -2(-4 - -3) + 3
- Simplify: 5(-3 + 4) = -2(-4 + 3) + 3
- Add: 5(1) = -2(-1) + 3
- Multiply: 5 = 2 + 3
- Add: 5 = 5
Here we see that 5 does indeed equal 5. ∴ x = -3 is a solution of the equation.
And we have our final answer!
