netflix charges customers 9$ per month to use the service. hulu changes customers 6$ per month plus a start up fee of 24$. after how many months will both companies be equal price

Answer 1

Let m represent the number of months. Netflix costs $9/month and Hulu costs $6/month + $24 setup.

So 9m = 6m +24. To isolate the variable, we could subtract 6m from both sides.

-6m -6m This simplifies to:

3m = 24 So to simplify further, divide both sides by 3.

/3 /3

m = 8

Answer 2

x = number of months

9x = cost for netflix

6x + 24 = cost for hulu

to find how many months until price equal

9x = 6x + 24

3x = 24

x = 8 months
