You want to rent a television. Company A charges $25 per week plus a one-time fee of $52. Company B charges $37 per week plus a one-time fee of $16. After how many weeks are the total costs the same at both companies?

3 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the number of weeks when they are equal as x.

We can then write these equations.

25x + 52 = 37x + 16

Subtract 25x from both sides.

52 = 12x + 16

Subtract 16 from both sides.

36 = 12x

Divide both sides by 12

x = 3

The answer is 3 weeks.
