At a local swim club you can purchase an annual membership for 24 dollars which will allow you 1 dollar admission to the pool all summer. If you do not purchase the membership the pool admission is 5 dollars. Determine the number of times you must visit the pool with a membership that would equal the cost of paying full price

6 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of times you visit the pool = x

At a local swim club you can purchase an annual membership for 24 dollars which will allow you 1 dollar admission to the pool all summer.

= $24 + $1× x

= 24 + x

If you do not purchase the membership the pool admission is 5 dollars.

= 5 × x

= 5x

Hence:

24 + x = 5x

Collect like terms

24 = 5x - x

4x = 24

x = 24/4

x = 6 times

The number of times you must visit the pool with a membership that would equal the cost of paying full price is 6 times.

answer: x=3 and y=4
