Step-by-step explanation:

this simply means that the sum of both short segments must be the same as the length of the whole line.

so,

x + 6 + x + 8 = 10

2x + 14 = 10

x + 7 = 5

x = 5 - 7 = -2

Answer:

Part 1:

For Platinum Gym:

90 + 30x

For Super Fit Gym:

200 + 20x

Part 2: $270

Part 3: $320

Part 4: 11 months

Part 5: See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1:

Let "x" be the number of months:

For Platinum Gym:

90 + 30x

For Super Fit Gym:

200 + 20x

Part 2:

We put x = 6 in platinum gym's equation and get our answer.

90 + 30x

90 + 30(6)

90 + 180

=$270

Part 3:

We put x = 6 into super fit's equation and get our answer.

200 + 20x

200 + 20(6)

200 + 120

=$320

Part 4:

To find the number of months for both gyms to cost same, we need to equate both equations and solve for x:

90 + 30x = 200 + 20x

10x = 110

x = 11

So 11 months

Part 5:

We know for 11 months, they will cost same. Let's check for 10 months and 12 months.

In 10 months:

Platinum = 90 + 30(10) = 390

Super Fit = 200 + 20(10) = 400

In 12 months:

Platinum = 90 + 30(12) = 450

Super Fit = 200 + 20(12) = 440

Thus, we can see that Platinum Gym is a better deal if you want to get membership for months less than 11 and Super Fit is a better deal if you want to get membership for months greater than 11.
