Answer 1

Answer:

After 16 movies the price for both the option be same .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the number of movies rented are x .

As given

A local dvd rental machine rents movies out to customers for $5.75 per movie.

A digital movie company allows you to rent movies for $3.25 but requires a membership fee of $40.

Equation becomes

5.75x = 40 + 3.25x

5.75x - 3.25x = 40

2.5x = 40 movies

$x = \frac{40}{2.5}$

x = 16

Therefore after 16 movies the price for both the option be same .
