1 EXAMPLE 3 Solve a multi-step problem Many businesses pay website hosting companies to store and maintain the computer files that make up their websites. Internet service providers also offer website hosting. The costs for website hosting offered by a website hosting company and an Internet service provider are shown in the table. Find the number of months after which the total cost for website hosting will be the same for both companies. WEBSITES

2 Solve a multi-step problem EXAMPLE 3 SOLUTION Write a system of equations. Let y be the total cost after x months. Equation 1 : Internet service provider y = 10 + 21.95 x STEP 1

3 Solve a multi-step problem EXAMPLE 3 Equation 2 : Website hosting company y = 22.45 x The system of equations is: y = 22.45x Equation 1 y = 10 + 21.95x Equation 2

4 Solve a multi-step problem EXAMPLE 3 Substitute 22.45x for y in Equation 1 and solve for x. y = 10 + 21.95x 22.45x = 10 + 21.95x 0.5x = 10 x = 20 The total cost will be the same for both companies after 20 months. ANSWER STEP 2 Write Equation 1. Substitute 22.45x for y. Subtract 21.95x from each side. Divide each side by 0.5.

5 GUIDED PRACTICE for Example 3 4. In Example 3, what is the total cost for website hosting for each company after 20 months ? SOLUTION Let y be the total cost. y = 22.45 20 = 449

6 GUIDED PRACTICE for Example 3 The total cost for website hosting for each company after 20 months is $ 449. ANSWER

7 GUIDED PRACTICE for Example 3 5. WHAT IF ? In Example 3, suppose the Internet service provider offers $5 off the set- up fee. After how many months will the total cost for website hosting be the same for both companies ? SOLUTION Write a system of equations. Let y be the total cost after x months. Equation 1 : Internet service provider y = 5 + 21.95 x STEP 1

8 GUIDED PRACTICE for Example 3 Equation 2 : Website hosting company y = 22.45 x The system of equations is: y = 22.45x Equation 1 y = 5 + 21.95x Equation 2

9 GUIDED PRACTICE for Example 3 Substitute 22.45x for y in Equation 1 and solve for x. y = 5 + 21.95x 22.45x = 5 + 21.95x 0.5x = 5 x = 10 The total cost will be the same for both companies after 10 months. ANSWER STEP 2 Write Equation 1. Substitute 22.45x for y. Subtract 21.95x from each side. Divide each side by 0.5.
