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.

Answer 1

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

y=14(6)+25

y=84+25

y=$109

Answer 2

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:

`y = 14x + 25`

For 6 months the cost is:

`y = 14 (6) +25`

`y = 84 + 25`

`y = 109`

Answer:

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

`y = 14x + 25`

the cost for 6 months is:

`y = 109`
