One hiking club charges $16 to become a member and $3 to participate on each hike. another club charges no membership fee, but charges $5 to participate on each hike. how many hikes must you go on to make the first club more economical?

x < 8

Step-by-step explanation:

x= # of hikes

3x +16 =5x

-3x. -3x

16=2x

16/2= 8

2x/2= x

8=x

x=8

check:

3(8) +16 =5(8)

24 +16 =40

40=40 ✓

there for at 8 hikes with either deal it would be the same but if you went up a number of hikes for the first option it would only be $43.00 spent in total. but with the second option it would be $45.00.
