As per linear equation, for 12 classes, both options would cost the same amount.
"A linear equation is an equation in which the highest power of the variable is always 1. It is also known as a one-degree equation."
Let, for 'x' number of classes both the options would be the same.
Therefore, for the member option, the total cost for 'x' class would be
= $(42 + 2x)
Similarly, for the non-member option, the total cost for 'x' class would be = $(5.50x)
Now, (42 + 2x) = 5.50x
⇒ 3.5x = 42
⇒ x = 12
