A) let x=months let y=cost y=mx+b y= 20x+ 60 Remember 20 is the variable which implies for this situation consistently it cost 20$ and 60 is the steady which implies you just pay it once

B) let x= Months let y= cost y=10x + 150

C) platinum rec center y= 20x+60 y=20(1)+60 y=20+60 y=80 Superfit y=10x+150 y=10(1)+150 y=10+150 y=160 Therefore Tom will pay less after the main month
