    B: after 5 months

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Make to equations from the given information

    Let y be the cost, and let x be the number of months

    Gym 1: y = 35.65x + 75

    Gym 2: y = 17.95x + 164

    It wants to know when the cost will be the same, so set the 2 equations equal to each other and solve ...

    35.65x + 75 = 17.95x + 164

    17.70x = 89 (subtract 17.95x and 75 from both sides)

    x = 5.02 (divide both sides by 17.7)

    So after 5.02 months the cost will be equal, since 5.02 is greater than 5 months, the answer is after 5 months, which is B
