Respuesta :

Given parameters:

Signup fee for Cabletown = $5

Charge per video = $0.50

Sign up fee for Networkflicks = $12

Charge per video = $0.15

Unknown:

The number of videos watched in which the cost of both months will be thesame = ?

Solution:

Let the number of videos= x

Now let us set up algebraic equations to solve this problem;

      5 + 0.5x = 12 + 0.15x

   Collect like terms and solve;

        5 - 12  = 0.15x  - 0.5x

             -7  = -0.35x

               x  = 20

The number of videos watched will be 20 videos
