Question

A gym charges $50 activation fee and $17 per month for a membership. If you spend $356, for how many months do you have a gym membership

Answer 1

18 months

Explanation:

Let y represent the total cost for a gym membership. Let x represent the amount of months.

y=17x+50

356=17x+50

-50 -50 (subtract 50 on both sides to get rid of it)

306=17x

306/17=17x/17 (divide both sides by 17 to get x alone)

x=18

Answer 2

about 6 months I think
