Sunia is looking to join a new gym and is analyzing how much money it will cost her to be a member. The gym has a one-time startup fee of $20 and costs $60 per month to maintain
membership. From this information, Sunia develops the equation y = 60 + 20 to represent the total
cost, y, of being a member for a months.
Complete the table to find six solutions to Sunia's equation.

To find the total cost (y) for each number of months (x), we can substitute the values of x into the equation y = 60 + 20.
Using the equation y = 60 + 20, we can complete the table as follows:
Months (x) Total cost (y)
0 60 + 20 = 80
1 60 + 20 = 80
2 60 + 20 = 80
3 60 + 20 = 80
4 60 + 20 = 80
5 60 + 20 = 80
To find the total cost (y) for different number of months (x) using the equation y = 60 + 20, we can substitute the values of x into the equation and calculate y.
Here's the completed table:
Months (x) Total cost (y)
0 60 + 20 = 80
1 60 + 20 = 80
2 60 + 20 = 80
3 60 + 20 = 80
4 60 + 20 = 80
5 60 + 20 = 80
As we can see from the table, regardless of the number of months (x), the total cost (y) remains constant at $80.
