    9 DVD

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the number of DVD borrowed = x

    In the first plan, the video rental company offers a plan that includes a membership fee of $8 and charges $1 for every DVD borrowed.

    Total Charges for first plan = $8 + ($1 X x) = $ (8+x)

    They also offer a second plan, that costs $17 per month for unlimited DVD rentals.

    Total Charges for second plan=$17

    We want to find the number of DVD for which the two plans cost the same.

    8+x=17

    x=17-8

    x=9

    If a customer rents 9 DVD, the plan costs the same

    The total Cost is $17
