Part A would be C=20x+44

For part b, you plug in 6 to that equation and you get $164

Answer:

a. C=20x + 44 where C is total cost, and x is the number of months.

b. $164

Explanation:

Where C is total cost, and x is the number of months, we get the equation

C=20x + 44

the 20 is the monthly fee and the 44 is the initial membership fee which is only paid once.

To get the answer for b plug in 6 as the x. The equation gives you the answer $164.
