(BRAINIEST AND 7 POINTS !) One year ago Derek joined a health club. He paid a yearly membership fee of $28 that covered all the
club's services except the raquetball court. Derek paid an additional $7 each time he used the raquetball court. For the entire year at the health club, Derek paid a total of $119.
PART 1: Write an equation to represent the number of times (x) that Derek used the raquetball court.
Equation:
PART 2: Solve the Equation your wrote for part 1.

This is worth 60% of my grade ! Please help.
This problem requires an equation. y= mx+ b, where y is your total, mx is your slope, and b is your y intercept. Your total is 119, your yearly fee is 28 ( which is b since it only happens ones), and 7 is x (since x represents each time) So 119=7x+28. Now to solve this we would subtract 28 from both sides and then divide that number by 7. So 119-28 is 91. 91/7 is 13. He used the racketball court 13 times. You can plug 13 to make sure.
