Answer:
C(x) = 5x + 20 (for members)
C(x) = 3.5x (for non-members)
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of membership = $20
Price of a game per month = $5
So, the linear equation to compute the total cost for a member can be computed by:
C(x) = 5x + 20
where x is the number of games per month
On the other hand, non-members can get one more game per month for $7 which means they get 2 games for $7. The price for a single game is $7/2 = $3.5 a month.
The linear equation to compute the total cost for a non-member is:
C(x) = 3.5x
where x is the number of games per month.
The following system of equations can be used to decide whether to become a member or not, by substituting the number of games in place of x and finding out the total cost.
C(x) = 5x + 20 (for members)
C(x) = 3.5x (for non-members)
