Question

For membership to an athletic club, it costs $110 to join and $25 per month of membership. Write an equation to show the situation

Answer 1

110 + 25x = Total Cost (or any type of variable needed, like a,b,c, etc.)

Explanation:

Since the monthly fee occurs more than once, and we don't have the number of months, we put an x to represent the amount of months. The $110 is the one time additional fee for the membership, so it doesn't need a variable.
