Question

Renee wants to join the local gym. The cost of the membership can be represented by the equation, y=12x+35, where x is the number of months of the membership, and y
is the total cost.

What is the initial membership fee before any months are considered?

Answer 1

The initial membership fee before any months are considered is 35.

Substitute 0 with x because no months have been considered. Like what was previously said, y is the total cost, so:

Y=12(0)+35
12 x 0 = 0
Y=0+35
Y=35
