Your are a member of your local movie theater's club. Every time you see a movie at the theater, you earn a advantage points. When you earn 100 points, you get a free movie pass. Currently you have 40 advantage points.
1. write an equation to model the number of movies , m, you have to watch before you earn a free movie pass
2. solve the equation. show your work
1. Let "x" represent the number of movies you have to watch before you earn a free movie pass.
Since you earn advantage points every time you see a movie, and you need 100 points for a free movie pass, the equation that models the situation is:
40 + (x * 1) = 100
2. To solve the equation, we can start by isolating the variable "x".
Subtract 40 from both sides of the equation:
40 + x = 100 - 40
x = 60
Therefore, you need to watch 60 movies before you earn a free movie pass.
