Answer provided by our tutors

Let x be the number of months that we are looking for.

Then the total money spent after x months for the

First club is: 50 + 65 x

Second club is: 90 + 45 x

Following the condition of the problem we have

50 + 65 x = 90 + 45 x

65 x - 45 x = 90 - 50

20 x = 40

x = 40 / 20

x = 2

For 2 months the cost for the both clubs is equal.
