See process below

Gym A: Total cost #y=75+35.75x#

Gymn B total cost #y=164+17.95x#

in both cases x means number of months

We are going to solve the system of equations

#75+35.75x=164+17.95x#

#35.75x-17.95x=164-75#

#x(17.8)=89#

#x=89/17.8=5#

In five months the cost of both Gym's will be equal and Gym B will be cheaper than A
