Question

a gym membership costs $25 to join and $14 each month. Write and use and algebraic expression to find the cost of the membership for 6 months.

Answer 1

So the equation format you will be using is y=mx+b. m = slope and b = y int.
So since to join the membership you have to pay $25.00 that will be your y int. Because that is the balance you are starting with. And then since the times you are paying each month are remaining constant, your slope will be $14. Finally x = months or time. So your equation will be y=14(6)+25 or y=14x+25
