Dana Berger · Answer 1

5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Value m = months

Gym A Money needed to pay = 30m + 39

Gym B Money needed to pay = 20m + 89

30m + 39 = 20m + 89

Now isolate m

(30m-20m) + (39-39) = (20m-20m) + (89-39)

10m = 50

10m/10 = 50/10

m=5; You can plug this number in to check my answer.
