Which equation and calculation would help him make this decision

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of car washes that he gets in a month with either packages.

Package A is an unlimited number of car washes for a month, and it costs $35 with no additional charges. It means that the cost of x car washes is $35.

Package B is $22 for the month plus $1.50 per car wash. It means that the cost of x car washes with package B is

1.5x + 22

For Package A to be the better deal, the equation to find the the number of car washes he would need to get in a month is

1.5x + 22 > 35

1.5x > 35 - 22

1.5x > 13
