6. the abc book club charges a $40 monthly fee, plus $2 per book read in that month. the easy book club charges a $35 monthly fee, plus $3 per book read in that month. for each club, how many books must be read in 1 month for the total charges from each club to be equal?

The expression for the cost of the ABC Book Club is 2x + 40.  The expression for the cost of the Easy Book Club is 3x + 35.  To find when the total charge for both book clubs is equal, the two expressions must equal each other. (x = the number of books read)

2x + 40 = 3x + 35

Subtract 35 from both sides.

2x + 5 = 3x

Subtract 2x from both sides.

5 = x

So, the total charge for each club is equal when 5 books are read.

step-by-step explanation:

1st step

add 3+6

=9

multipy 9*3

=37

the given 6 = w/p is equivalent to 6p = w, where w is the total area of the walls and p is the area covered by a single can of paint.

knowing that 6 cans of paint will be needed, 6p = w becomes 6(6) = w = 36.   this tells us that the total area to be painted is 36 square units.
