Question

PLEASE HELL ASAP!!!

Your gym membership costs $50 total for the first 3 months, and then costs $15 for each additional month . Write an equation relating m the number of months you are a member of the gym , if the total cost for the gym was $ 275.

Answer 1

I believe the equation is $50 + $15m = $275

Explanation:

Since you're writing an equation, there must be an equal sign involved. (An expression does not have an equal sign)

Let's start:

We know that you have to pay $50 as a starting fee and it costs an additional $15 PER month. The problem tells you that the variable "m" represents the number of months you spend as a member...thus:

$50 + $15m

and since the total cost for the gym was $275...

Your answer should be $50 +15m = $275

Hope this is useful :D

Answer 2

275 - 50 = 225
225 divided by 15 = 15
M = 15

Hope this helps
