Explanation:

You can do the equation 145+3v for Gisele’s Gym

For Freddie’s Fitness do the equation 75+5v and put in the number of visits for v

For example, for 33 visits Freddie’s fitness has a lower cost than Gisele’s gym. You could do 3x33 + 145 = ? for Gisele’s gym, and do 5x33 + 75 for Freddie’s Fitness, and then compare which one has a lower cost. But technically I just gave you one answer and shown you what you could do.

I’m not particularly sure if I’m correct but that’s how I would do it, sorry for the long wait, if you have any questions you can ask me :)
