a video store charges a monthly membership fee of $7.50,but the charge to rent each movie is only $1.00 per movie. Another store has no member fee, but it costs $2.50 to rent each movie. How many movies need to be rented each month for the total fees to be the same from either company?

So we want to know when the cost of each is the same:

2.5m=7.5+m  subtract m from both sides

1.5m=7.5 divide both sides by 1.5

m=5

So renting 5 movies costs the same from either store.  ($12.50)
