Answer 1

Simplified expression for total amount spent is 10(2.05 + m)

Expense = 8.50 + 6.25 × m

• Step 2: Write expression for expense on joining movie club for m months.

Expense = 12 + 3.75 × m

• Step 3: Calculate the total amount spent on both clubs

Total Amount = 8.50 + 6.25m + 12 + 3.75m = 20.5 + 10m = 10(2.05 + m)
