A gym membership costs $25 to join and $14 each month. Write and use an algebraic expression to find the cost of the gym membership for 6 months.

Respuesta :

y=14x+25    y= total cost  x= number of months

y=14(6)+25    

y=84+25

y=$109

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

x: number of months

y: total cost

We write the algebraic expression that models the problem:

A gym membership costs $ 25 to join and $ 14 each month.

We have then:

[tex] y = 14x + 25 [/tex]

For 6 months the cost is:

[tex] y = 14 (6) +25 [/tex]

[tex] y = 84 + 25 [/tex]

[tex] y = 109 [/tex]

Answer:

an algebraic expression to find the cost of the gym membership is:

[tex] y = 14x + 25 [/tex]

the cost for 6 months is:

[tex] y = 109 [/tex]
